Quote:
A: In Japan, if one of the parents is Japanese, the children become Japanese nationals. In the United States, children born in the United States acquire U.S. citizenship, and if a Japanese women in an international marriage gives birth in the United States, her child obtains U.S. citizenship. However, if a notice of retention of citizenship is filed when registering the birth in Japan, the child does not lose his or her Japanese nationality. In such circumstances, the child acquires dual nationality, and he or she must choose which nationality to take by the age of 22. (Answers by Mikako Shimogiri, Lifestyle News Department)
