Information is fragmented
Rules, forms, records, translations, and appointments live across agencies that do not share a system.
Heritage Passport · The company
Citizenship is inherited. The process should not feel impossible.
We are building the operating system for citizenship by descent—from family history to application-ready evidence.
ApplicantsHeritage Passport OSAttorneys and governments
One organized layer between the family, the professionals who advise them, and the agencies that decide.
The status quo
Opaque requirements. Archaic procedures. Excessive fees.
Citizenship applications burden families with a steep learning curve, locally specific rules, scattered records, and manual processes. These are not edge cases in a broken system. They are how the system operates.
The work is repeated
Every applicant rebuilds the same family line and document logic—often alongside siblings doing the same work.
Expert time starts too early
Families pay professional rates to organize facts and files before legal judgment is even required.

Where we sit
We do not replace attorneys. We are the OS.
Heritage Passport turns a family story into a structured case: the qualifying line, the governing route, the evidence held, the gaps, and the next action.
Families can move independently when the work is administrative. When counsel is needed, the attorney receives an organized file and can spend time on judgment—not digital archaeology.
For families
One shared source of truth, clear requirements, coordinated records, and a path that explains itself.
For professionals
Structured facts, traceable evidence, explicit uncertainty, and fewer billable hours lost to file reconstruction.
For the process
Cleaner submissions, fewer avoidable errors, and technology handling repetition while people handle judgment.
One million Americans.By the end of the decade.
One million people holding a citizenship they were already entitled to. The constraint was never a lack of family history. It was a lack of infrastructure. We are building it.
