Reclaim Your Greek Heritage & Citizenship
Specialized legal assistance for Greeks abroad seeking to obtain Greek citizenship,
resolve civil registry issues, and secure their Hellenic identity for future generations.
⚠️ The Hidden Crisis of the Greek Diaspora
Thousands of individuals of Greek descent – particularly in North America and Australia – face:
- Unknowing loss of Greek citizenship due to outdated laws and lack of registration
- Inability to prove Greek ancestry due to missing, incomplete, or lost civil registry documents
- Years of bureaucratic deadlock when trying to establish Greek lineage
- Inability to pass citizenship to children and grandchildren
This means: lost inheritance rights, property claims, EU privileges, and connection to homeland.
We’ve successfully resolved cases where families had struggled for 7-10 years before coming to us.

Frequently Asked Questions
❔ My grandfather was Greek but I was born abroad. Can I get Greek citizenship?
Yes, in most cases. Provided uninterrupted Greek descent can be proven. This typically requires civil registry documentation and often a court decision for recognition. Each generation must have maintained their Greek citizenship (or eligibility for it).
❔ All documents were lost during the war/civil war. Is reconstruction possible?
Yes, through alternative evidence. We use military archives, church records, municipal tax documents, and other official sources to reconstruct lineage. Success rate is high with proper expertise.
❔ How long does the citizenship process take?
6-18 months depending on complexity. Straightforward cases with good documentation: 6-9 months. Complex cases with missing documents: 12-18 months. Court procedures may extend to 24 months.
❔ Can my children get Greek citizenship if I obtain it?
Yes, immediately. Once your citizenship is established, your minor children can be registered as Greek citizens. Adult children may need to follow a separate (but simplified) procedure.
❔ Do I need to speak Greek or live in Greece?
No. Greek citizenship by descent doesn’t require language proficiency or residence. However, some municipalities may require basic registration formalities.
