32. Does having two passports make you a dual citizen?

In most countries, having a passport issued by the country is definitive proof of citizenship of that country. However, there are a few exceptions such as Jordan which issues a “temporary” Jordanian passport to stateless Palestinians, which allows them to travel.

Also, many countries offer qualifying refugees resident in that country a “refugee travel document” which is not the same as a passport, but can look like one.

Other names for a refugee travel document are a “Geneva passport” or a “1951 convention travel document.” Despite the colloquial use of the word “passport” in the term “Geneva passport”, the fact is the refugee travel document is not the same as a passport, and is not evidence of citizenship in that country.
