Planning from the US
Family history is a starting point, not an eligibility result. Build a document plan and identify the authority and law that apply to your particular family line.
Build my free starting planNo country or card required. Save free after seeing your results.
Start with countries of birth and citizenship in your direct family line. Do not upload certificates or identity documents here.
Write a private chronology of births, marriages, adoptions and naturalisations. Record events and dates that need confirmation.
Check the current nationality rules before ordering documents: Italian guidance changed in 2025, and different German routes have distinct conditions.
Ask the responsible consulate which originals, corrections, apostilles and translations it requires. A DNA result is not a citizenship decision.
Confirm recognition or registration before treating a passport as available. Partner and child rights need separate checks.
Your free plan keeps your priorities and questions together. This journey currently provides a free preparation plan and official starting links. A paid route-specific pack is not offered without supported, currently checked records.
