Greek citizenship is a legal right for those who meet the requirements of Greek nationality law. Thousands of people worldwide qualify for Greek citizenship but are not yet registered in the Greek Civil Registry or Municipal Records due to missing or unrecognized documentation.
Greek Citizenship by Descent:
If you have Greek ancestry, you may qualify for Greek dual citizenship once your family line is legally recognized and registered in Greece through Greek birth records, marriage records, and municipal registration.
Greek Citizenship by Marriage:
Spouses of Greek citizens may apply for Greek nationality after meeting the legal requirements for marriage duration, residence, and civil registry registration in Greece.
Greek Citizenship by Naturalization:
Foreign nationals who legally reside in Greece may qualify for Greek citizenship through naturalization after meeting residency, integration, and legal compliance requirements.
In all cases, proper civil registry compliance, legal recognition of foreign documents, and accurate Greek records are essential for a successful Greek citizenship application and the issuance of a Greek passport and EU citizenship rights.
Obtaining Greek citizenship is not a simple administrative task. It is a complex legal process governed by Greek nationality law and based on civil registry records, municipal registers, and family lineage that often goes back generations. Missing birth certificates, incorrect names, or unregistered marriages can delay or block a Greek citizenship by descent application unless they are properly corrected and legally recognized.
Our law firm specializes exclusively in Greek citizenship by descent, dual citizenship Greece USA, and Greek nationality applications through ancestry, marriage, and legal recognition. We provide full eligibility assessment, Greek vital records research, ancestor birth certificate tracing, and legal correction of Greek civil records, ensuring that every file meets the exact requirements of the Greek Ministry of Interior and the Greek Consulate.
We handle Greek birth certificates, marriage records, death records, male registry and municipal register searches, and the registration of foreign documents in Greece. When needed, we also manage Greek court procedures for name corrections, recognition of foreign court decisions, and legal amendments so your Greek citizenship application is not rejected due to technical issues.
Our role is to protect your case from the start. We do not submit incomplete or risky applications. Every Greek citizenship by ancestry file is built with legal precision, documented lineage, and verified records so you can obtain Greek nationality and enjoy the benefits of Greek dual citizenship and EU citizenship with confidence.
Whether you are applying for Greek citizenship through a parent, grandparent, or great-grandparent, or need help correcting Greek records before applying, we guide you from the first consultation to final registration as a Greek citizen.
Anyone with a Greek parent, grandparent, or sometimes even a great-grandparent may qualify for Greek citizenship by descent. Greek nationality law follows the principle of jus sanguinis, meaning citizenship is passed through bloodline. Proof is established through Greek birth certificates, marriage records, and municipal registry entries.
Yes. If you are married to a Greek citizen, you may apply for Greek citizenship after meeting residence and integration requirements under Greek nationality law. This is a legal pathway to Greek naturalization through marriage.
The Greek Golden Visa grants residency through investment in Greece. After maintaining legal residence for several years, applicants may qualify for Greek citizenship by naturalization, provided they meet residence and integration requirements.
A professional Greek genealogy and civil registry search can locate Greek birth certificates, marriage records, death records, municipal registries, and male registry records. Many older Greek records exist only in handwritten archives that require in-person research in Greece.
Yes, but Greek civil records must first be corrected. This usually requires a Greek court order or administrative correction so that all documents match before submitting a Greek citizenship application.
If your legal name was changed abroad, Greece requires recognition of a foreign court decision or a Greek legal procedure to update Greek birth, marriage, and family registry records before citizenship or passport issuance.
No. Greek language proficiency is not required for Greek citizenship by descent. Language requirements apply only to Greek naturalization, not to ancestry-based citizenship.
The timeline depends on whether all Greek civil records exist and are correct. If records must be located or corrected, the process usually takes 12 to 36 months from start to final Greek nationality recognition.
Greek citizenship alone does not create tax residency. You only become subject to Greek taxation if you live in Greece or earn income there.
