How many passports are you allowed to have?

Question

My mother is irish, my father is English and I was born in England. so far I only have Irish passport/nationality, I'm allowed to have english as well, i was wondering am i allowed any other? (I've been living in France for over 12 years so technically I can ask for french nationality)

Answer 1

Your passport is associated with your country of citizenship.  Here's where you will start http://www.ips.gov.uk/passport/apply.asp

No, you will not apply for a French passport until you become a French citizen.

Answer 2

well in that case ur entitled to three or something? :)

awesome!

except I always thought Irish passport was same as UK...hmm...

Answer 3

aren't passeports europeans now? with a sharing database.

That means you can have only one you choose even if you suceed to get the 3 nationalities

After its different for the choice of your nationality and identity card, you can have 3

Np for english and irish one with your family and birthplace

For the french one 5 years legal residence is enough but that isn't the only criteria cause your parents,birthplace aren't French, you are not a refugee , you don't come from a French related country and you maternal language isn't french.

So the decision ll come from a tribunal judgment. other criterias are studies level, talents that can help the nation, your language and cultural level, your judicial status.

the best is still to marry a french girl a wait for 1 year :p

Answer 4

you can have a passport for every citizenship you have
