About Citizenship.guide

The free resource helping people discover and claim citizenship by descent.

Millions of Americans have ancestry that could entitle them to a second passport. Most never find out because the information is scattered across government websites, expensive consultations, and outdated forum posts.

We built Citizenship.guide to fix that. Everything here is free, accurate, and written for real people, not lawyers.

What We Do

We provide three things:

• Expert guides covering eligibility, documents, costs, timelines, and legal changes for 30+ countries
• Free eligibility quizzes that tell you in 2 minutes whether you likely qualify
• A community forum where thousands of people share real experiences, consulate wait times, and success stories

Countries We Cover

We have in-depth guides for Italy, Ireland, Poland, and the Dominican Republic. We also cover Hungary, Croatia, Germany, Portugal, Greece, Spain, Romania, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Latvia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Israel, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Philippines, Japan, South Korea, India, Ghana, Armenia, Turkey, and the UK.

How We Stay Accurate

Citizenship laws change. Italy proved this dramatically in May 2025 when it restricted jure sanguinis claims overnight. We monitor legal developments across all jurisdictions and update our content when laws change. Our daily news system scans for breaking developments and publishes analysis within hours.

That said, we are an educational resource, not a law firm. Our content is informational and should not replace advice from a qualified immigration attorney.

The Community

Our community forum is where the real value lives. People at every stage of the process, from "I just found out my grandmother was Italian" to "I just received my passport," share what they have learned. Consulate wait times, document tips, attorney recommendations, and success stories, all from people who have actually been through it.
