Records Retrieval for Citizenship by Descent

I secure legally binding, internationally recognized archival records from Ukrainian state archives and civil registries. I provide the exact documentary evidence required by consulates and immigration authorities to establish your ancestral rights and process your citizenship restoration.

Israeli Citizenship (Aliyah)

Secure legally binding proof of your Jewish heritage for repatriation under the Law of Return of the State of Israel.

  • You hold the right to repatriate to Israel if you or your spouse have a Jewish parent, grandparent, or great-grandmother.
  • I procure the required vital records, Holocaust-period documentation, and supporting residency or educational files.
  • I retrieve archival records to confirm the Jewish nationality or ethnicity of your ancestors via maternal or paternal lineage.

Polish Citizenship & Pole’s Card

Establish your ancestral rights under the Act of 2 April 2009 on Polish Citizenship or the Act of 7 September 2007 on the Pole’s Card.

  • For Polish citizenship, eligibility relies on the unbroken transmission of citizenship from the ancestor directly to you.
  • For the Pole’s Card (Karta Polaka), you must prove the Polish nationality of at least one parent, one grandparent, or any two great-grandparents.
  • I retrieve civil status records, military duty records, and voter lists from the territories of the Second Polish Republic (II Rzeczpospolita) now within Ukraine.

Romanian Citizenship

Restore your rights under the Romanian Citizenship Law No. 21/1991. You hold the legal right to apply for citizenship if your ancestors lost their Romanian rights voluntarily (Article 10) or involuntarily (Article 11).

  • Descendants up to the second degree (grandparents) qualify to restore citizenship for ancestors who voluntarily relinquished their rights.
  • Descendants up to the third degree (great-grandparents) qualify to restore citizenship for ancestors who lost their rights due to historical circumstances.
  • I retrieve vital records and proofs of citizenship from the territories of Greater Romania (România Mare) spanning 1918—1940, including Northern Bukovina, the Hertsa region, and the Ukrainian parts of Bessarabia.

Citizenship of Other European Nations

Expand your immigration options across Central and Eastern Europe. I trace and obtain certified civil status extracts and archival records proving your ancestors’ ties to multiple other countries:

  • Bulgaria
  • Czechia
  • Estonia
  • Germany
  • Greece
  • Hungary
  • Moldova
  • Slovakia
  • Ukraine

My Two-Step Workflow
Documenting Your Ancestry

  1. 1

    Expert Assessment (Preliminary Research)

    This mandatory first step involves an in-depth analysis of specialized databases, archival inventories, and historical records. I apply my 16 years of professional experience to establish a precise strategy for documenting your ancestors’ origins. I determine your exact eligibility, evaluate retrieval possibilities, validate initial biographical data, and structure a comprehensive action plan detailing exact document titles, timelines, and costs.

  2. 2

    Retrieval of Legal Documents

    I retrieve and obtain all agreed documents proving your ancestors’ citizenship or origins from the relevant competent authorities. I secure an apostille to legalize the official documents for international use. I send you scanned copies of the obtained records, followed by the shipment of the fully legally binding originals to your specified address via regular post or DHL. My scope of work focuses strictly on retrieving and obtaining these legal historical records, leaving process representation and consular preparation entirely to your immigration lawyer.

Expert Assessment
Preliminary research for acquiring citizenship by descent

Initiating the retrieval of legal documents for citizenship restoration requires comprehensive preparation, regardless of the volume of initial information provided. The Expert Assessment involves an in-depth analysis of specialized databases, archival inventories, historical records, and 16 years of professional experience to establish a precise strategy for documenting your ancestors’ origins, focusing on the following core outcomes:

Confirming restoration eligibility

I analyze your provided information to establish your ancestors’ ties to the respective country or ethnic heritage. This thorough review determines your exact eligibility under current national immigration laws and provides the specific historical and archival reasoning supporting your case.

Evaluating retrieval possibilities

Historical events shifted borders and impacted archive preservation across Eastern Europe. Investigating the availability of specific record categories—including civil status registers, voter lists, censuses, and military files—provides a clear, actionable roadmap for obtaining legal proof of your descent.

Validating initial biographical data

Initial facts about ancestors frequently contain discrepancies due to shifting eras and languages. Cross-referencing these details and resolving spelling variations builds the solid evidentiary base necessary for a successful consular verification. I provide you with all information and archival records retrieved during this stage.

Structuring the comprehensive action plan

The Expert Assessment report provides a definitive and actionable framework for the procurement of your legal documentation. It identifies the exact document titles to obtain, their issuing authorities, timelines, potential procedural risks, and the pre-required documentation for a successful process.

The Expert Assessment serves as the mandatory first step for documenting your ancestors’ citizenship or ethnic origins. This preliminary investigation establishes the necessary factual basis—specifically the what, where, why, and how—required to build a successful case for the relevant national authorities, immigration lawyers, and consulates.

Cost of the Expert Assessment: 250EUR 150EUR
