A child born in the USA with an English mom and American dad, do we need to register him for dual citizenship?
Answer:
Yes, you would need to register the birth with the British Embassy in DC. Contact them, or the nearest UK consulate for more info. I don't think there is a time limit, but the sooner the better.
I would place a call to the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. If they don't know, then they may be able to direct you to someone who does. As the child is being born in America, he is automatically an American citizen. Hope this helps. Congrats on your baby!
You can choose to register if you want to so the child can have dual citizenship, but once the child turns 18, the child needs to choose which citizenship he/she wants to keep. At 18 the US does not recongize dual citizenship.
The US doesn't do dual citizenship.
Contact the nearest U.K. Embassy in the States if that's where you are living.
Dual citizenship, in my mind, means that you're just milking each country for all you can.
Why don't you just take an oath to ONE country. If you don't declare your loyalty to the USA, you don't deserve any citizenship here.
yes, just register your kid birth with the UK embassy.
from the U.S department of State website
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 over 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.

Dual citizenship may be acquired in many ways including: birth abroad, marriage to a foreign citizen, through a foreign citizen parent or by application for citizenship in another country.
look at the home office web page, this sort of stuff is on there.
