If you are the child or grandchild of an Irish citizen
you are entitled to become an Irish citizen yourself. We can assist you in
tracing the legal documents necessary for Irish Citizenship / Irish Passport
Application purposes. Irish law allows you to hold Dual Citizenship so you do not have to
relinquish your own citizenship. As an Irish citizen you will automatically become a
citizen of the European Union (EU).

If you are unsure whether you qualify for Irish Citizenship by Descent, e-mail us details
of your Irish ancestry and we will assess your claim. Contact us at irishcitizenship@ireland.com
If you are eligible for Irish Citizenship by Descent we offer the following options to
help you process your claim with the Irish government.Option I:
Document Research & Retrieval Option
We can undertake an extensive search for all documents needed from the Irish side to apply
for Irish Citizenship and/or to become and Irish Passport holder. The most vital
document you will need is the record of the Irish birth of your parent/grandparent. This
includes researching the relevant documents (birth and marriage certificates etc) and
sending the certified, official copies to you as quickly as possible.
This search includes the Civil records - Births and Marriages - if your ancestor was born
in Ireland after 1864, when civil records began. If your ancestor was born prior to 1864
we can do a search for a baptism record in the parish records.
Civil Records search and official copies costs $260.
Parish Records search and copies costs $290
In order to begin this process you can contact us at irishcitizen@eircom.net
Option II: Research and Consultancy Option
This option includes all of the above as detailed above under option 1 - i.e research on
and provision of the certified Irish records needed to apply for Irish
citizenship/passport as well as advice and consultancy on the whole application
process. For reason known only to itself the Irish government has made this quite a
complicated process.
We source Irish documents and either source application forms or inform you where to get
them. We also offer advice on what documents you need to source, for the application, in
your own country.
We then go through the application process, step by step, with you and help complete the
whole process. In addition we provide an advisory service which you can consult
with, via e-mail or telephone, during the entire application process.
All of the above for a once of payment of $390.
