Greek citizenship

If your parents, grandparents or great-grandparents were Greek, you may be entitled to Greek, and therefore European, citizenship. We search for your ancestors' records in Greece and prepare your application.

How it works

Family details: you give us your Greek ancestor's full name, father's name, and place and year of birth.
Records search: we search the archives and municipal records of the town or village.
Document chain: we assemble the birth and marriage certificates linking you to your ancestor.
Application: we file for certification of citizenship, or for naturalization where the ancestor was not born in Greece.
Follow-up: we track the application with the Greek authorities until it is decided.
