Get them, and file
Guided retrieval from the right authority, then an application assembled and checked before it goes anywhere.
Questions people ask first
What does it cost?
The eligibility check is free, and it stays free. You only pay if you decide to pursue a claim.
How long does it take?
A few minutes. You get your result on the spot — there is no queue and nobody calls you back.
Do I need an account?
Not to start. Answer the questions or upload a GEDCOM and see your result first.
What happens to my family data?
It is yours. We never sell or share your family's records, and we never use them to train models. You can delete everything at any time.
What is citizenship by descent?
Many countries recognise you as a citizen if you descend from one of their nationals — no residency, no language test, no investment. The claim is proved with records, not opinions.
I already have a tree. Does that help?
Enormously. The research behind your tree is the same research a claim runs on. Connect FamilySearch or upload a GEDCOM and we work from what you have.
You have already done the hard part.
