I had a great experience working with Zip Citizenship on my Slovak citizenship by descent (CBD) application. I started working with Lucia and her team early in the process, when I was still establishing my eligibility and figuring out how to approach what turned out to be a fairly complex pre-1908 case.
My case involved navigating the Slovak Ministry of Interior’s 2025 interpretation, obtaining a Japanese criminal record check, and figuring out how to proceed without a formal birth certificate for my grandfather, among other challenges.
Lucia and her team were incredibly helpful throughout, offering practical guidance and taking the time to engage with the specific circumstances of my case. They were consistently approachable, responsive, and knowledgeable.
The team really went above and beyond when I traveled to Slovakia to submit my application. I had just three days to get everything finalized, and they managed to coordinate the official Slovak translations of my documents, prepare the application materials, and help me submit everything in Bratislava within that short window. I was very impressed with how efficiently everything came together.
Lucia also has a very distinctive personality and fascinating professional background, so I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to chat with her over coffee during my visit to Košice. It was a nice personal touch in what can otherwise be a fairly stressful and paperwork-heavy process.
All in all, I would absolutely recommend Zip Citizenship to anyone considering applying for Slovak citizenship by descent, especially those navigating a more complicated case.
Ďakujem veľmi pekne, Lucia! 🇸🇰

Zip Citizenship and Lucia — I can’t recommend enough! Lucia is trustworthy, knowledgable, and consistently responsive. When hiring a specialist of any sort from a different country, it can feel like a real gamble. There are no concerns here. Lucia got me through the SLA process and citizenship. And when I needed someone to come with me to file paperwork in Bratislava and she wasn’t available b/c of her location, she recommended one of her trusted colleagues. I also had a fantastic experience with her. Lucia has a great network and met my needs (and answered my many (many) questions along the way.) She is very fairly priced and I will seek her help again if the need arises.

Absolutely hire Lucia and her team. Citizenship by Descent is a complex process that requires patience to complete WHEN handled by a competent manager and lawyer offering experienced and intelligent guidance. Zip Citizenship is that exact team. I would not want to wade into this world of documentation and ministerial appointments, etc. without professional guidance. You can 100% trust the support Zip offers.

I reached out to Lucia from Zip Citizenship for help with obtaining the Slovak citizenship by descent. It was handled very smoothly. Lucia was well prepared and always few steps ahead, with deep knowledge of all local quirks and potential hurdles that could came up.
She and her team were also super responsive and attentive to make the process as fast as legally possible.
Highly recommended!

Lucia and her team handled my case with the greatest skill. She and her staff were very accessible and provided accurate and up to date information every step of the way. As the process proceeded, Lucia kept me up to date and explained each step in the citizenship process. My case was handled efficiently and accurately. As a final step in the process Lucia appeared with me at our hearing in Bratislava. She was well prepared and my documentation was perfectly arranged. The hearing officer accepted all of our documents without question. Lucia is a very knowledgeable attorney with a very engaging personality. In my opinion, the hearing officer was pleased with the manner in which Lucia presented our case.

I cannot recommend Lucia highly enough. She was incredibly helpful throughout the entire CBD application process in Slovakia. What initially felt confusing and overwhelming became much easier to understand thanks to her guidance, responsiveness, and clear communication. She was always quick to answer questions, patient in explaining each step, and made the process feel manageable from start to finish. Thanks to her support, I was able to successfully submit my application with confidence. If you are looking for someone knowledgeable, professional, and friendly, I would absolutely recommend working with her.

Zip-citizenship have provided me with excellent customer service and professionalism throughout. They guided me through the process including personal assistance when submitting the application in person. I felt their service was excellent value for money and would strongly recommend them for your citizenship application.
