About My Descent Passport

A free guide for anyone wondering whether a parent, grandparent or older ancestor could give them a second citizenship, explained without the jargon of official forms.

What you’ll find here

For each country covered, My Descent Passport sets out who can claim citizenship through family, the documents involved, the steps in order, the official fees and how long things usually take. Each rule is linked to where it comes from, normally a government or consulate page, so you can read the original.

What it won’t do

  • It has no connection to any government, embassy or consulate.
  • It can’t give legal or immigration advice, or tell you how your own application will go.
  • It doesn’t sell anything or take commission from anyone.

Who’s behind it

It’s a one-person project based in the UK. There’s no advertising, and you never need an account.

Found an error?

Email hello@mydescentpassport.com and say which page and what seems wrong. Once it’s confirmed against the official source, the page is fixed.

More: how this guide is researched, the disclaimer and the privacy notice.

A plain-English guide, not a legal opinion. Nationality laws can be amended at short notice, so confirm the details with the consulate or the official body before you send an application or pay anything. The full disclaimer.

Cousins and siblings may qualify as well

One ancestor can open the same door for a whole branch of the family, and you can split the cost of the certificates. Send them this page while it’s fresh in your mind.
