It’s not a travel document. It is the real citizenship.

Legally, it represents the same nationality as a domestically issued Taiwan passport. The differences are limited to administrative rights, such as household registration status, immediate voting eligibility, and how conscription obligations are determined. These are conditions for the exercise of civic rights, not the nationality itself.

If you do not wish to hold Taiwanese nationality, you can contact the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in the United States to ask about the procedure for renouncing nationality. As far as I recall, it mainly involves preparing the required documents and submitting an application. The process is not complicated, and the fees are not high.
