美國國務院對於雙重國籍的看法

US State Department Services Dual Nationality


A U.S. citizen may acquire foreign citizenship by marriage, or a person naturalized as a U.S. citizen may not lose the citizenship of the country of birth. U.S. law does not mention dual nationality or require a person to choose one citizenship or another.  Also, a person who is automatically granted another citizenship does not risk losing U.S. citizenship.

However, a person who acquires a foreign citizenship by applying for it may lose U.S. citizenship.  In order to lose U.S. citizenship, the law requires that the person must apply for the foreign citizenship voluntarily, by free choice, and with the intention to give up U.S. citizenship.

Most U.S. citizens, including dual nationals, must use a U.S. passport to enter and leave the United States.  Dual nationals may also be required by the foreign country to use its passport to enter and leave that country.   Use of the foreign passport does not endanger U.S. citizenship.

================================================================

我的節譯如下

一個美國公民取得外國國籍的情況可能是經由婚姻、或是在歸化為美國公民時並沒有失去出生地的國籍。美國法律沒有提及雙重國籍或要求一個人只能選擇其中一個國籍。   此外,若一個人是在 "自動獲得" 的狀態下擁有其他國籍,並不會危害自己失去美國國籍
 

但是,當一個人藉由 "申請" 的動作來取得外國國籍時,有可能會因此失去美國國籍。  美國法律要求,當一個人在自由選擇的狀況下,自願申請成為外國公民,並且意圖放棄美國國籍時,他就正式的失去美國國籍。 (譯按: 關於宣告放棄美國國籍的程序,美國法律有其相關的規定,不在此贅述)
 

大多數美國公民,包括雙重國籍者,必須使用美國護照進出美國。  雙重國籍者也可能被要求利用其外國護照進出另個國籍的國家。使用外國護照不會危害自身的美國國籍。
