Considerations
-
In order to have dual citizenship, you must first research the country where you wish to become a citizen to see if they allow it. Along with their required documents, you will need your birth certificate, a marriage license (if your name has changed) and possibly a current United States passport.
Laws of Descent
-
Israel, Ireland, Italy and Greece all have laws of descent. While these laws vary, if you have parents, grandparents or great-grandparents who were born in one of these countries, you can become a citizen.

Considerations

By becoming a citizen of another country, you may be required to pay certain taxes, serve in the military and, in some instances, vote in general elections.
Identification

Countries that do not allow dual citizenship include China, Denmark, Honduras, India, Korea, Kuwait, Mexico, Norway, Singapore and South Africa. If you are a citizen in one of these countries, you cannot become a citizen in another country without renouncing your original citizenship.
