   No, not necessarily. Some credit card companies do not like to give credit to those that are young with no credit history. So generally they prefer for a credit user to be 18 and employed. No you don’t have to be a citizen as far as I know. I think you have to have proof of address and a social security number though. And yes a parent can let a child use their credit card but it depends on if a store will allow the child to use it without id. But a parent can make a child a authorized user, which means the child will be able to use the credit card legit.

   Hope I helped!
