How much does the eligibility check cost?

The eligibility check is 100% free, forever. You simply connect your FamilySearch account, and our AI instantly analyzes your family tree. There's no credit card required and no obligation to proceed.

How long does the eligibility check take?

The entire process takes about 2–3 minutes. You connect your FamilySearch account (≈30 seconds), our AI analyzes your tree (≈1–2 minutes), and you get instant results.

What happens after I discover I'm eligible?

You'll receive a detailed report showing which citizenships you qualify for, the strength of your case, estimated timeline, and costs. You can then choose to pursue it on your own, work with our experts, or keep the information for later.

How does the FamilySearch integration work?

You sign in with your FamilySearch account and grant read-only access. We securely import direct-line relatives from your tree, map your lineage, and run our rules engine against citizenship-by-descent criteria. You review suggested paths and, if you choose, start document ordering and next steps inside our app. We never write back to your FamilySearch tree.

Is my FamilySearch data secure?

Yes. Authentication uses FamilySearch OAuth; you can revoke access anytime from your FamilySearch settings. Data moves over encrypted connections and is stored encrypted at rest. Access is limited to authorized staff and systems, and we request the minimum scopes needed to read your tree. We operate read-only. We do not sell personal data. We provide a data-handling and retention policy in-app.

How accurate is the citizenship eligibility information?

High. Our determinations combine your tree data, your answers to targeted questions, and a rules engine maintained by specialists. It is informed by five years of work across 10+ European programs and 5,000+ client cases. Laws and consular practice change, and final recognition always depends on official review of your documents. We update criteria continuously and flag any areas that need human review or additional records.

What if I don't have a complete family tree on FamilySearch?

No problem. We pull what's available and fill gaps with a short eligibility questionnaire. You can upload documents or let us research missing records. As you or FamilySearch add relatives later, you can resync and we'll refresh your results.

Do I need to have a FamilySearch account?

Yes, but creating one is free. FamilySearch is the world's largest free genealogy platform with over 8 billion records. If you don't have an account, we'll guide you through creating one in minutes.

How is this different from a DNA test?

DNA tests show genetic ethnicity estimates. Ancestry Passport shows the actual countries where your documented ancestors were born, creating a visual representation of your family's migration story through official records.

What if I don't qualify for any citizenship?

No problem. Your check is free, and we'll provide suggestions on alternative residency pathways or ways to strengthen your eligibility through additional genealogical research.

Yes. We use bank-level encryption to protect your information. Your family data is never sold or shared with third parties. You maintain full control and can delete your data anytime
