Dual Nationality

U.S. and Bermudian

U.S. laws allow for U.S. citizens to acquire Bermudian status without losing their U.S. citizenship.  Citizens of the U.S. who wish to acquire Bermudian status may request a copy of the information package prepared by the American Citizen Services section (ACS) as a guide to prevent the loss of U.S. nationality. To contact the ACS section follow this link. For information on Bermudian Status please contact the Bermuda Department of Immigration. Citizens of both the U.S. and Bermuda are recognized as such by both governments. 
 
Being born in Bermuda does not automatically make a child a Bermudian.  U.S. citizens who acquire dual nationality during childhood are not required by U.S. law to choose one nationality or another upon reaching the age of 18.  One does not risk losing U.S. citizenship unless one performs certain conclusively expatriating acts. For more information on this please see Loss of Citizenship.
 
Please note: All U.S. citizens, even dual nationals, must present themselves as US citizens when entering and departing the United States, preferably by displaying a US passport.
