Your European passport is closer than you think
Obtaining citizenship by descent may seem like a long and complex process, but with the right help, it can become a simple and effective experience. At Orience, we’ve designed a comprehensive service that allows you to delegate the entire process to expert hands: from locating documents to formally submitting the application to the competent authorities in Spain or Italy. The goal? That you get your European passport without errors or delays.
Why consider citizenship by descent?
Citizenship by descent is a legitimate and increasingly popular way to acquire a second nationality. If you have Spanish or Italian ancestry, it’s highly likely that you’re entitled to reclaim or apply for citizenship without the need to reside in the country beforehand. This right grants you access to:
- Free movement, residence, and work throughout the European Union.
- Access to healthcare systems, education, and social benefits.
- Passing on citizenship to your children.
- Greater legal security and international mobility.
Common obstacles when doing it on your own
Many people who start the process on their own face obstacles that can delay or even derail their application:
- Difficulty locating old records in local or international archives.
- Errors in names or dates that require notarial corrections.
- Invalid translations due to not being properly certified or apostilled.
- Lack of knowledge about the specific requirements of each consulate or municipality.
That’s why it’s key to have a legal team that not only knows the process but can anticipate and resolve any issues.
What does Orience’s turnkey service include?
At Orience, we work with expert citizenship lawyers who manage your application from start to finish in a personalized manner. Our service includes:
- Free feasibility study to confirm if you meet the legal requirements.
- Location and recovery of civil, ecclesiastical, and migration documents.
- Sworn translation and apostille of all foreign documents.
- Preparation, review, and submission of the application to the appropriate consulate or local authority.

Advantages of starting the process now
The legal landscape is changing rapidly. In Spain, for example, the citizenship by descent route benefiting grandchildren of Spaniards could close in September 2025. That’s why, if you meet the requirements, it’s essential to begin your application as soon as possible. Time works in your favor if you take advantage of it with professional guidance.
