Product Name

DualCitizen

Goal

This website helps people who are eligible for a second passport (my main point of focus now is Ireland, where one grandparents born there is required) and would like to navigate what materials and connections to family are needed without the complications and issues of dealing with poorly-laid out government websites. Users will be able to pick a drop down menu of what country they're eligible to become a citizen in, which will give way to what family connections are needed at minimum to apply, the paperwork that needs to be attained, and contact information for the relevant consulates and government offices to which to send materials.

Key Users

Those eligible for dual citizenship by descent. This will likely manifest itself in older Americans who can afford the fees.

Tabled ideas

Opening the site to about ten countries, mostly in Europe because they share similar laws related to descent-based citizenship.
