[OpenID-Specs-eKYC-IDA] nationalities vs citizenships

[Torsten Lodderstedt]

Hi Sascha,

interesting question ;-) We had a long discussion about nationality and
nationalities in the early days of eKYC. The consensus was that a person
can indeed have more than one nationally. That’s why we made it an array.

Because you raised the question, I just looked it up as well and it seems
nationally can be used to designate both: the country where you were born
as well as the citizenship with a country granted to a person.

best regards,
Torsten.
