Many applicants who wish to obtain Greek Citizenship by Descent / Hellenic Citizenship first need to locate the Greek birth certificates and vital records of their parents, grandparents or great-grandparents in Greece. This can be challenging — especially when records are old, incomplete or the exact place of birth is unknown.

At E. Chatzidimitriou LLC, we provide professional Greek ancestor research services to help you locate official Greek birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, municipal registrations (Dimotologio) and Male Registry records (Mitroo Arrenon) anywhere in Greece — including historical archives dating back to the mid-1800s.

Our legal team conducts research directly with Greek Registries, Municipal Authorities, Civil Registry Offices, Archives and Church Records (where necessary) and we also handle cases involving name variations, spelling differences between Greece and the US/Canada/Australia, incorrect dates, missing records, unofficial entries or unregistered births.

The documents we obtain may be used for:

•  Greek Citizenship by Descent (Dual Greek Citizenship)
•  Greek passport applications
•  Inheritance and property matters in Greece
• Court proceedings and name corrections
• Registration of life events in Greece (birth, marriage, death)

All research and retrieval is handled lawfully and officially by licensed Greek attorneys, ensuring your documents are valid and recognized by the Greek authorities. You do not need to travel to Greece — we manage the entire process on your behalf.

If you are unsure where to begin or believe your ancestors’ records may be “lost,” our office can investigate and trace the official Greek records for you. Complete our consultation form and a qualified attorney will review your matter and provide an initial legal assessment at no cost.
