  • Can I have multiple naturalisation (i.e passports from birth country, UK & USA)?

    Hello,

    Please I need your kind advice on the following issue.

    I am a citicizen from another country, I am just qualified to apply for British Naturalisation now having spent more than 10 years in the UK (and I have got UK ILR for more than 12 months). I also have pending settlement visa application with USA (through USA citizen brother that filed a settlement petition/application/sponsorship for me).

    QUESTIONS:

    (a) Is it legal to have three passports (i.e (1) birth citizenship, (2) UK by naturalisation and (3) later, USA by naturalisation via green card/settlement visa)?

    (b) If I submit my UK naturalisation application now and get UK passport before obtaining USA settlement visa/green card, will I be able to still legally obtain USA passport in future?

    Thanks in advance.

    a. yes. Who is each country's citizen is solely determined by its law. The US and UK citizenships cannot be lost involuntarily, and neither the US nor UK require renunciation of other citizenships as part of naturalization. As to whether your birth country's citizenship could be automatically lost when you naturalize in another country, you would have to look at that country's law.
    b. yes

    This is my personal opinion and is not to be construed as legal advice.
