It is a formal and official word and it appears more frequently in written English. You will find the word 'Nationality' is used a lot in the travel industry and for immigration.  \nWe almost never say: What is your nationality?  \nWe usually say: Where are you from? OR Where do you come from?  \nTo tell someone your nationality you DON'T say: My nationality is Chilean.  \nYou say: I'm Chilean  \nRemember  \nI am from Mexico To Be + from + country I am Mexican  \nTo Be + Nationality  \nBelow is a list of countries with the appropriate nationality.
