In 2021, a total of 1.26 million usual residents of England and Wales held multiple passports , up from 612,000 in 2011.
There was also a five-fold increase in UK-born residents holding both British and Irish passports across the time period. “The rise in dual citizens may also suggest greater uptake of additional passports following the end of free movement when the UK left the European Union.” Non-EU dual citizens had a median age of 22, and UK/Irish dual citizens were older, with a median age of 47.A rise in UK/Irish dual citizens across the decade was most apparent in those aged 50 to 70-years-old, the ONS said, adding that this suggested many only took up their dual nationality more recently despite moving to England and Wales years ago.
For UK/French and UK/German passport holders the median age was 15, for UK/Polish it was seven and for UK/Italian it was 20.
