what is the nationality of a kid ? is it depends on the birth place or parents?

Answer 1

Different countries have different rules. To America, a child born here is an American, no matter who his parents are. A child born overseas of American parents is also an American, with some exceptions. In fact, he will get to choose when he is 18, in most cases.

American does not recognize dual citizenship, so what they do is call American military bases and other American owned property (embassies, etc.) overseas as "American soil." Therefore, a child born on American soil overseas is still an American, but that other country might also offer him citizenship. As I say, it depends on the country.

Answer 2

In some countries, the nationality is given by the place of birth - US,France,etc-

In other countries, the nationality depends on the parents - Germany -

There is a third case, where people can hold double nationality, the one where the kid was born plus the one of the parents, Example Italo-Americans.

When emigrating, in some countries that don't accept double nationality the kid might have the right of adopting the one of the born place after several procedures, or stay with the parent's nationality.

In summary, depends on the legislation of country where the kid was born.

Answer 3

The nationality of a child depends upon the law of a country. It is under two universally accepted principles, either "jus soli" wherein the nationality of the child is determined where he is born just like in the United States or "jus sanguines" wherein the nationality of the child follows the nationalities of the parents like in the Philippines.

Answer 4

Nationality depends on the kids race. So their parents...

Answer 5

Depends on the country, for example in Germany the child automatically assumes the nationality of his father.
