Guidance

We assess your eligibility to become an Irish citizen by discussing your personal circumstances with you and working on solutions to plug any gaps in your knowledge. This may involve working with you to review your residency in Ireland or, if you are of Irish descent, working with our partner genealogists to help you understand your Irish family tree. Using all this knowledge, we provide a first-rate citizenship advice and application support service—tailored to suit your needs.
