The United State government has reminded its citizens to carry valid US passports when traveling to and from the United States.
The requirement applies to all US citizens, including children and those with dual citizenship.
In a post on X on Sunday, the United States Mission in Nigeria said, “U.S. citizens are required to enter and depart the United States on a U.S. passport. This requirement applies equally to U.S. citizens, including children, who are dual nationals.”
The mission added that “dual national U.S. citizens may not use their foreign passport to apply for an Electronic System for Travel Authorization.” Related News Nigerian-American Harvard graduate develops world’s first braid-assist robot PHOTOS: Air Peace warns of disruptions over aircraft damage US exchange programmes boosting Nigeria-US economic ties — US Mission
It noted that the Department of Homeland Security “routinely denies or cancels ESTAs for dual national U.S. citizens.”
