US DUAL CITIZENS MUST USE US PASSPORT FOR ENTRY, EXIT UNDER NEW TRAVEL LAW
U.S. citizens, including dual nationals, are now required by law to use their U.S. passport when entering and exiting the United States, regardless of holding citizenship or passports from other countries.
This mandate ensures proper documentation and identification for travelers, streamlining the process for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers. It also guarantees that U.S. citizens can receive consular protection while abroad by presenting their U.S. passport in case of legal issues or emergencies.
For those holding dual citizenship, the U.S. passport must be used when traveling to and from the United States, although another passport may be used when entering or exiting the other country of citizenship.
Travelers should remember to always carry their U.S. passport during international travel, even if they plan to use another passport for entry in a foreign country. At U.S. borders, the U.S. passport should be presented to immigration officials for smooth processing.
Failure to adhere to this requirement could result in delays or complications, underscoring the importance of ensuring that your U.S. passport remains valid and up-to-date before any international travel.
