Does my son have dual citizenship?
Find answers to your legal question.





Does my son have dual citizenship?

I am american and his father is canadian does that mean he has dual citizenship automatically, or do we have to apply for him to have that? also if he does have dual citizenship can he cross the us/canadian border without passport only on birth certificate? and does a 2 week old need passport? lol I know its a lot of questions but if anyone has info please share thank you!

Children can derive citizenship through parents. For US Citizenship (I'm ignorant about Canadian stuff), it's easier through the mother. I'm guessing that you are the US Citizen and your husband is the Canadian. And I'm further guessing that your child was born in Canada. You'll need to contact the US Consulate nearest you and speak with them. I suspect they'll ask for two things- proof that you are, in fact, a US Citizen (your passport will help) and that the child is, in fact, *your* child (a Canadian birth certificate may be useful here).

The second part is also pertinent- does a two-week old need a passport? Sadly, the answer is "yes." But the Consulate may help you with a waiver and/or documentary proof that you've applied for a passport for your baby.

Given the timing of your question, maybe it might be easier for your relatives to visit you in Canad. Hope you have a great Christmas!

You didn't provide more info so it's difficult to say. But have a look at the websites below. The 1st is from the Canadian Immigration and the 2nd is from the US Immigration
