Citizenship and Passport

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

By Jonathan Curshen -

Citizenship can be loosely defined as the legal relationship between a person and the sovereign nation in which he or she lives, a status defined by the law of that nation, conferring or limiting a person’s duties and rights. The most common means of acquiring citizenship is by birth within the borders of a nation.

Naturalization is the formal legal process through which one legally can acquire a second, or alternative citizenship and the right to a second passport.

A passport is an official personal identification and travel document for international use issued by a sovereign nation, usually to its own citizens, but sometimes to others as well.

Dual nationality is the legal status of having more than one national citizenship at the same time, and with that status comes a second passport.
