dual citizenship is different from dual allegiance. Dual allegiance, on the other hand, refers to the situation in which a person simultaneously owes, by some positive act, loyalty to two or more states. While dual citizenship is involuntary, dual allegiance is the result of an individual’s volition.”

Dual Citizenship is not granted to foreigners or those who have acquired their Filipino citizenship by naturalisation.

The concept of dual nationality means that a person is a national of two countries at the same time. U.S. law does not mention dual nationality or require a person to choose one nationality or another. A U.S. citizen may naturalize in a foreign state without any risk to his or her U.S. citizenship.

In cases where one cannot prove of “dual names” as in the case of women changing their names to the family name of the husband, both passports can be blacklisted. This is one of the measures in ASEAN countries to combat human and child trafficking.

If you have dual citizenship (‘dual nationality’) and have a non-British passport, the name on your non-British passport must match the name and gender you want on your British passport. If it’s different, change the details on your non-British passport before you apply for a new British passport.
