A 60-year-old international treaty helped simplify our client’s Czech citizenship case. By identifying the correct legal procedure and an often-overlooked treaty exemption, we avoided unnecessary document authentication, and his Czech citizenship was confirmed within just two days.
Our clients, two sisters born in Illinois, USA, came to us seeking confirmation of their Czech citizenship. Their parents, both Czechoslovak citizens by birth, met after emigrating to the United States, where they married and started a family.
A citizenship certificate issued in just one day. This case shows how prior family records, careful preparation, and strategic coordination can significantly accelerate the confirmation of Czech citizenship by descent.
Our client, a British citizen, approached us with a goal to obtain Czech citizenship by descent through his grandmother, whom he knew to be originally from the Czech lands. She was born in Trutnov, then part of Czechoslovakia, and we later found out that her life story was closely intertwined with the dramatic events at the end of the Second World War.
