Has anyone gone through the simplified naturalization precedure? by Regwo
I understand that knowledge of the Hungarian language is a requirement, but how well must I know Hungarian? I can speak it just under an intermediate level.
Unfortunately there is very little in the way of Romanian records online (they never let LDS make copies). I would need it certified and apostilled regardless, I believe. Read More
Getting Hungarian citizenship by way of decent by Silviez
Hello! I have been thinking for some time of applying for Hungarian citizenship via the simplified process, for the purpose of gaining more options with regards to possible locations for work and study; I am a rising senior in American highschool, ...
Apply through the regular process via mail, you don't need to interview, just send in the forms to the embassy in DC. See here for details: http://www.hunconsulate.com/consulate-services/citizenship/hungarian-citizenship.html Note that if your ... Read More

Anyone get their ancestors' records from Romania? I think my antecedents might've been born in Transylvania, not sure (there are about a half dozen towns in Greater Hungary that have very similar spelling to the town listed on their ... Read More

I have a document (sorry but can't share online due to privacy of Embassy staff) stating that they are only looking at my GRANDFATHER - my mother's father who was born before 1900s. At that time (this is what they look at) the paternal MY ... Read More

I haven't gone through the process so others can probably answer your question better, but my impression is that they really want some kind of official government document from Austria-Hungary for the ancestor you're applying under. The law ... Read More

OK, last question, I swear. Did all of you who went through/are going through the process track down the original vital records of your intermediate ancestors (i.e., the ones who weren't born in Hungary), or did you order certified copies? ... Read More

Hm, I should be able to get marriage and death certificates. I checked and it looks like the latter should give place of birth and his parents' names, hopefully they'll take that but I guess it really depends on how the bureaucracy is ... Read More

Anyone know if Hungary's strict about an unbroken chain of birth and marriage certificates? I don't think my great grandfather (the first one born in the US) has a birth certificate, I'm going to pay for a manual search of the county ... Read More

Thanks for the advice. I should clarify that my great great grandparents were born in 19th century Hungary (and within the present day borders) so if I can establish a paper trail I'd be applying under them, with maybe my grandmother as ... Read More

Ok, thanks. She was born in the US and naturalized by marriage (not to my grandfather), so I guess I'll look into the simplified process. Read More

My grandmother was a Hungarian citizen but she naturalized well after my father and me were born (outside of Hungary). Anyone know if this counts for the regular citizenship procedure? I'm guessing the answer is no, but I figured I'd ask ... Read More
