Under one roof

One Team. Every Expertise You Need.

At ZIP Citizenship, all the necessary expertise is under one roof — so nothing falls through the cracks.

No dropped handoffs. No duplicated costs. One team that owns your case from start to finish. For us, your case is more than paperwork.

Finding the right records is often the hardest part. That’s why we have built our own digitised datasets of Slovak emigrants — more than a million curated records that help us find ancestors where others come up empty.

Our portal brings your application progress, family history and Slovak culture together in one place—so becoming a citizen can also be a chance to rediscover where you come from and, perhaps, reconnect with distant family.

  • Genealogisttraces your ancestors in Slovak and American archives — and in our own digitised datasets
  • Lawyerhandles the legal side of your case
  • Translatorcertified by the Ministry of Justice
  • Consultantguides you from first check to final passport
