Citizenship by Descent

Irish Roots. Your Route to Irish Citizenship.

Irish citizenship by descent may be closer than you think. If your family has roots in Ireland, we’ll help you understand whether you qualify and explain the next steps if you decide to move forward.

A Common Question

Does Irish ancestry make you an Irish citizen automatically?

An Irish-born parent may mean you are already an Irish citizen. An Irish-born grandparent may give you the right to become one through Foreign Birth Registration. We help you understand where you stand and what to do next.

Why Irish Citizenship Matters

An Irish passport opens the door to Europe.

Irish citizenship reconnects you with your family’s story and creates new possibilities for you and future generations.

What We Do

From family history to passport in hand

Every family story is different. We start by understanding your connection to Ireland, then guide you through the next steps based on the support you choose.

You do not need to have every answer. We will review what you already know, identify the records you need, and help you move from Foreign Birth Registration to your first Irish passport.

Clear answers about eligibility

We review your family history against Ireland’s citizenship rules and explain whether you qualify, through which relative, and what the process will involve. If we believe a case is unlikely to succeed, we will tell you honestly.

Careful application preparation

We help you identify the right records, review them against the published requirements, and organize your Foreign Birth Registration application to help avoid delays.

Support through your first passport

Citizenship and your first Irish passport are separate applications. Passport support is available as a standalone service after your citizenship is approved.
