YesterdayFor those with dual citizenship, did you acknowledge this during the application/interview? I know the USA does not recognize dual citizenship, but I am wondering if either hiding it or mentioning it would cause one to be disqualified. I asked during my interview and he said it would not disqualify, but I wanted to make sure before my friend applies. The non-USA citizenship was obtained by birth, the USA was naturalized. Thank you.

Dual citizenship is allowed by US law, but US citizens and nationals must always enter/exit the United States on their US passport (well no exit controls in the USA so it is defacto just enter).

Yes, you must include all countries of citizenship as well as any passports issued to you.

I just renewed to get my Global Entry card and there was no such question.

When I had my GE application and interrogation, I was asked several times.

Usually taken as: the US government will only recognize a US citizen as a citizen of the US and not accept -- under international (bilateral or multilateral) treaty obligations even when the other country's government wants to approach its own citizens on the basis of an international treaty or the like -- another country's claim of citizenship over that person (at least when) in the US with rights deriving from international treaties or the like.Originally Posted by Ari

If asked and if known. But if not, then from where does the obligation to do so arise? What about persons who don't even know all of the countries whose citizenship they hold?Originally Posted by mre5765

So... if I'm reading through this, dual citizenship will not (necessarily) prevent me from getting accepted, but I do have to disclose it.
I'm in a special situation, since my second citizenship is Dutch, which actually is eligible to apply for global entry. Anyway, I enter and exit the US on American, and enter and exit the EU on a Dutch passport...

No worries. I have 2-1/2(third one in process). Never has been an issue.Originally Posted by cfwolfs

Bring your valid passport(s) and one other form of identification, such as a driver's license or ID card to the interview.
