What nationality?

Question

I am Italian,my husband is Polish, my daughter is born in Ireland.
What nationality is she?

Answer 1

Nationality refers to which country your daugther takes citizenship. She can be born in Ireland, but she can be a citizen of another country. Her race is Polish-Italian or Polish (if she want to follow the father, which some country takes the identity of the father).

Just an interesting example, lets say you and your husband are British citizens even when your heritage is Italian and your husband's is Polish. So you and your husband are British. However, if you give birth to your daughter in US, the American give citizenship to a person of natural birth, so your daugther is US citizen upon birth. Since both Britain and US allow dual citizenship, you may register your daughter's birth with the British government, and so she can also become a British citizen immediately because of the British parents even when she is not born in Britain. So, for her case, she is of both British and US nationalities.

Answer 2

She should be Irish because she was born here (Ireland), but the Irish Government closed a loophole a while ago which means now you can only be classed as an Irish citizen,or at least qualify for an Irish passport, if one of your parents is already a holder,and as neither of you are, then she's Italian-Polish (or Polish-Italian) and a citizen of either one of those countries.

Answer 3

Born under the authority and flag of Ireland she is a proud polish -Italian Irish girl

Answer 4

Nationality is different from ethnicity. I think that some people consider your birthplace to be your nationality. I am Chinese, but I was born and live in the US, so when I am asked about nationality, I answer American.

Also, some countries will allow you to have citizenship even if you aren't born there, if you are of a certain ethnicity (like Lebanon or Taiwan), meaning if one or both of your parents are of that ethnicity, you can obtain citizenship. I don't know about Poland or Italy.

Normally, ethnicity is the ethnic affiliation of your parents, so your daughter is ethnically half Polish and half Italian, like I am ethnically Chinese.

Answer 5

Her nationality is only Irish if you adopted her from Ireland. Otherwise, she would be a mix of Italian and Polish, just like you and your husband. For example, I was born in America but I'm not a native American. Why not? Because my ancestors, up five or six generations, came from their countries to America and they were native to their countries. I'm a mix of English and Swedish. So it would be likewise for your daughter unless she's adopted by any chance

Answer 6

.
Nationality (first) ought to be limited to the extent of
place of birth, hence your daughter is considered Irelandian,
(a person born in a particular country/regian)
This is convienient for International Diplomatic uses/purposes,
she may be also entitled for mother`s nationality (additional choice)
as well as for father`s nationality (additional choice)...

better to decide after openion of the attorney of the field for avoiding
futur complications if any...
