US citizen and passport holder via birth. British citizen and passport holder from my mother.
I could apply for tri-citizenship and go Italian too, but their process is crazy I guess.
I've never seen a passport holder that holds multiple passports.

I've got citizenship in the US, Norway & Germany. I don't get the need for one holder capable of containing them all. I prefer to keep them seprate actually; I feel like it looks sketchy to be flipping through them at security.

I think its kinda fun to carry more than one. Especially when a US passport doesn't get you a ton of smiles in some places.

carrying more than one is great. Whichever line is shorter at whatever airport, that's where you go. I just don't see the benefit of keeping both in one holder. Pickpockets, eggs in basket, etc.

True, having both in one holder is asking for a thief.

When I looked into becoming a naturalized US citizen, I was told I would have to renounce my Canadian and give up that passport. Did the immigration attorney give me bad info? Can you actually be a US citizen and a citizen of another country? I thought this was one of those uniquely "American" things, that you cannot be a citizen of the US and another country?

dunno Pio. I was born here, so Jus soli made me American, and my other two are Jus sanguinis through my parents. I'm pretty sure my in-laws retained their Turkish citizenship when they got naturalized back in the 70s though.

I need to consult an actual IRL immigration lawyer, I guess. I would like to naturalize but I would not like to give up my Canadian passport.Originally Posted by Piobaire

AFAIK the US has been cool with duals and more for the last 30 years.

I think you are right Pio,
That being said, they don't really go through and audit your passport use. I think what typically happens is someone will have non-US nationality from a parent and they get to carry both until they are old enough to decide for themselves.
Once they get to that point, there aren't exactly people going around saying "hey you, get rid of that passport"
In your case though, the "hey you" guy might actually exist as a part of the naturalization process and you might be forced to renounce it (you will be required to state under oath that you have renounced it).

Your immigration attorney was right; however, just because the US doesn't consider you a citizen of another country and just because you've renounced citizenship from that other country, does not mean that the other country no longer considers you its citizen.
In addition, there are also some ways to become a US citizen that don't require you to renounce other citizenship, but these are rare. In my case, I became a US citizen automatically when my parents were naturalized; however, because I was under 18, I did not have to take the oath of citizenship and therefore did not have to renounce any other citizenship. So, I am now a dual citizen of the United States and Macedonia.

This is how I understand it as well. I've been told that the law is actually conspicuously silent on multiple-citizenship. Basically, you can have it, but the US doesn't explicitly recognize it in most cases (Israel is an exception). The idea is that whatever else you may be is immaterial: in the eyes of the govt you are a US citizen, full stop.
This may only be relevant for those of us born on US soil to parents who are imports. If you go about actively seeking US citizenship, it may be totally different.
