I gave up my green card last year, but am traveling to the US in several months. The ESTA application asks two questions which I am uncertain how to respond to.

  • Have you ever been a citizen or national of any other country?
  • Have you ever been issued a passport or national identity card for travel by any other country?

I know the green card didn't give make me a citizen, but do I need to answer yes to either of these questions?

The answer is quite simple: you should answer no to both.

You have never (from the data in your question) been a national of the USA nor any other country. Therefore:

"Have you ever been a citizen or national of any other country?"

Answer: No.

The green card itself in not a national identity card nor a passport. Therefore:

Have you ever been issued a passport or national identity card for travel by any other country?

Answer: No.

Answer no to both. The only ways in which you can gain nationality or become a citizen is by birth / through parents /naturalization / others (asylum)
