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, which in Ireland run about $1,000.

Features

  • Home page
  • Contact information for embassies, consulates, and locations where paperwork must be sent.
  • Country specific detail pages.
  • Checklist of materials needed on site that when completed, give way to relevant contact info.
  • Ability to share material on social media.
  • Ability to click email and open in Outlook for ease of contact with consulates.

Data

Basic information on what paperwork and what familial connections are needed to apply for a second passport.

Data-related work

Finding what papers Americans need in order to become Irish citizens, fees, etc.

Tabled ideas

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