The repatriation program provides an opportunity to obtain Romanian citizenship without residency requirements. The process includes a number of mandatory steps, each of which requires careful attention. We accompany the applicant at all stages and take care of legal and administrative issues.
If you have information about your Romanian origin or surviving family documents, the specialists will carry out a detailed check. Even if you are not sure of the grounds, it is worthwhile to undergo a free preliminary examination. More than half of our clients found out about their right to citizenship at this stage. We analyze the available documents and data, check the possibility of participation in the program on the basis of legislation, if necessary – we help to organize a search for archival evidence of kinship.

We submit official requests to archives if some of the information has been lost, provide translations, apostille / legalization in strict compliance with Romanian requirements, assist in filling out applications, questionnaires and other forms, check the dossier for completeness, correctness and compliance with ANC requirements. Only a valid passport and basic data are required from the applicant – we do the rest.
