What Clients Say

Thank you so much for helping me with my Croatian citizenship application. I applied with my brother and cousin and CDC helped me make the process much easier than I expected. The whole process was very interesting as we explored earlier generations in our family history to find a path that we could qualify through. Looking at very old documents we found several problems with our ancestors' documents being inaccurate. I realized very quickly that old documents can be very difficult to find and read. Marco and Letizia guided us through every step, and my case manager kept in constant communication throughout the process. The Croatian Dual Citizenship team thoroughly explained each part of the process so I had a good idea of what to expect right from the start. I hadn’t realized just how complex applying for Croatian citizenship by descent could be, so I’m very thankful for their expert support. Thank you!

My journey to getting Croatian citizenship started about 2 years ago when I started doing a lot of research to learn all of my options for dual citizenship with the EU. I reached out to CDC after seeing a video of Marco Permunian, the founder, and got the chance to speak with him. They started my case with a very thorough, ancestry assessment to confirm my eligibility for Croatian citizenship by descent. The results of the assessment were incredibly useful since I wasn’t entirely sure I met the criteria based on my ancestry. The intake team was knowledgeable, supportive, and skilled in navigating several details I hadn’t considered at first. They handled my case all the way through receiving my Croatian passport from the consulate. Looking back, I’m positive I wouldn’t have managed this alone—and if I had, it would have taken twice as long with my current workload and family schedule. The CDC team was outstanding and made the whole process significantly less stressful for me and my family.
I reached out to Marco at Croatian Dual Citizenship to explore the possibility of obtaining Croatian citizenship through descent. My sister had gone through the process and successfully received his EU passport that way. I consulted a few other companies before contacting CDC, but after discussing my case with Jason and getting a detailed overview of my eligibility I felt they were the perfect choice for me and my family members. Jason really took the time to understand my unique situation and made sure I qualified and could actually receive my citizenship and Croatian passport before our move date. Marco and his USA based team were incredibly responsive, addressing all my questions and simplifying the entire process. A huge thank you to them for helping my family and me become Croatian citizens!
I highly recommend CDC's citizenship services for assistance getting citizenship with Croatia. My Croatian citizenship by descent case was very complex because I had to go back to my grandparents who were from a small village in Croatia. Marco and the entire CDC team took on my case from start to finish with their Full Service package. They were very detailed in making sure all of the documents required for the process were found and ordered in the correct format to make sure my citizenship application was approved the first time. I had researched Marco extensively before hiring him and watched numerous interviews with him which helped give me me a lot of confidence in his experience. I wanted my case to be handled professionally because I know how one small issue in the paperwork can cause extremely long delays. Knowing I had a citizenship attorney like Marco handling my case who has the knowledge of the citizenship process across multiple countries made me feel at ease. Miriana, Marco, and the rest of the CDC team were excellent to work with. I’m very satisfied with the result and am grateful for their exceptional lawyers and team members working on my case!
If you’re trying to navigate the Croatian citizenship process like I was you’re probably aware of how complicated it can be. I initially attempted to handle my citizenship by descent application on my own but encountered numerous obstacles. Everything from missing documents to name changes of my ancestors on the documents I did find was causing huge delays in me completing my case. After wasting a lot of time and money I was doing some research online and stumbled on CDC. I decided to reach out to Marco and the team and explained that most of my frustration came from dealing with the Croatian bureaucratic challenges with the citizenship process and their laws. I gave them all of the documents I had collected so far and the CDC team was able to pick up right where I left off. I was impressed by how quickly they were able to move my case forward. They got much further than I did in a shorter period of time. I really can’t thank Marco and his team enough. Marco’s expertise in getting citizenship is exceptional, and working with Jason and the team was a great overall experience.
CDC was great for obtaining my Croatian dual citizenship with Croatia and the USA. When I started looking into the process for Croatian citizenship in the U.S., I felt completely overwhelmed by the complexity of Croatia’s citizenship requirements. I also wanted to make sure that I was not going to have to renounce my USA citizenship at the same time. Fortunately both countries allow dual citizenship. Marco and his team were great at tracking down all of my ancestors vital records, managing the financials, getting documents legalized, and securing apostilles. I was concerned about making a mistake and with a process this important I wanted it handled professionally. I highly recommend CDC to anyone looking to get Croatian citizenship. This was a great investment for both me and my family!
I've been working with Jason, Marco, and my case manager Sofia at CDC for over 6 months and I am very happy with my choice to hire them. My Croatian citizenship case was particularly difficult because of my ancestry generation I needed to trace back to for my citizenship by descent application. After seeing a bunch of these old documents in person I quickly learned that the further back you go, the more complex the whole process gets. Especially when you get into documents that are 100 years old! I ran into one hurdle after the next. Those old documents are full of inconsistencies that cause these applications to get denied. Marco and his team managed everything for me, which was exactly what I needed. They went through all of my documentation and got all new certified documents for me. Balancing work and family commitments left me with little time to handle the citizenship process myself. The CDC team was always available and responded to my questions promptly which I truly appreciated.
I started looking into Croatian citizenship back in 2020 when I had a lot of time on my hands and it took me a long time to finally get started with the process. I tried to start it several times but was so overwhelmed with all of the legalities and requirements I didn't get very far. Getting some of the USA documents was fairly easy, but gathering the required records from Croatia was a completely different story. I wasn't able to get a response from anyone I reached out to. I also quickly realized that for my citizenship application to be approved, every single document needs to be flawless. This is something that I realized would be very hard to do without professional guidance. That’s why I chose to work with Marco and the team at CDC. Although I was initially concerned about the cost, Marco’s expertise saved me both time and money on my case by sharing the cost with some of my other family members that were applying with me. Plus I really don’t think I would have successfully obtained my Croatian citizenship without Marco’s help. Thanks again!!!
I had been considering applying for Croatian citizenship by descent for years after having a close friend go through the process and finally decided to take the next step after I took in Hvar and Split. It was beautiful and I felt an instant connection to my ancestry and Croatian heritage. After researching the process online and speaking with some friends I realized it was a process I was not comfortable handling on my own. I'm really not good with paperwork and don't speak Croatian so I decided to look for help. Marco was great and his knowledge of the Croatian citizenship process was incredibly refreshing. I'm very please I found Marco Permunian and CDC to do the process for me and my son. If you’re looking for a team to handle your Croatian citizenship application CDC is the way to go.
I'm happy to recommend Marco, Brianna, and the CDC team for their exceptional citizenship services. I work for an international company and have hand to renew my work visa continuously for the past decade. After realizing I qualified for Croatian citizenship from my grandparents I knew instantly it was something I wanted to do. Having an EU passport makes European work and travel far more convenient. When I first reached out, the ancestor research team looked into my family’s Croatian heritage and found numerous birth, marriage, death, and naturalization records needed for my application for Croatian citizenship by descent. They tracked down all the certified vital records and submitted the application on my behalf. My entire family was thrilled to start our dual citizenship journey with Marco, especially after watching his YouTube videos and podcasts on citizenship. It was a fantastic experience to work with him!
