Reclaim Your Heritage.
Secure Your Future
Citizens by Descent specializes exclusively in EU ancestry claims, operating directly within European jurisdictions. By coordinating with vetted local counsel and archival researchers, we validate lineage across Italian, Irish, and Polish programs with forensic precision. Our approval rates exceed 90% because we rigor-test every case against the historical record before a government official ever sees it
"Citizenship by descent isn't a favor; it's a legal right hidden in history. But the burden of proof is entirely on you."
THE REALITY
It is not discretionary immigration. It is a precise legal determination rooted in lineage, civil records, and jurisdiction-specific nationality laws that often span generations.
THE RISK
Most denials occur for predictable reasons: incomplete archival records, misinterpretation of historical laws, or applications filed prematurely without a "consular-grade" audit.
The Citizenship by Descent Platform
The platform is designed to eliminate failure modes before a consulate or court ever sees a file, by sequencing verification, legal analysis, and quality control as a single system.
Genealogical Verification
Lineage reconstruction using primary civil records, parish archives, and jurisdiction-specific sourcing standards
Legal Eligibility Review
Country-specific nationality law analysis, including historical edge cases and generational transmission rules.
