Citizenship by Birth Jurisdiction Determination Service

A specialized legal triage service that takes a 15-minute intake call/form (birthplace details, parent nationalities, vessel registration, etc.) and delivers a written determination memo within 48 hours identifying the child's likely citizenship pathways and required documentation. A network of vetted immigration attorneys handles complex cases; simple cases are resolved by trained paralegals using a decision tree built from State Department and international maritime law.

Original Problem

Parents and expectant families struggle to determine citizenship status for children born in unusual jurisdictions

Parents with children born on naval vessels, international waters, or other non-standard locations face significant uncertainty about their child's citizenship rights and legal status. Current legal resources are fragmented across multiple jurisdictions, and immigration lawyers charge high fees to answer what should be straightforward questions. Families lack accessible, authoritative guidance on how birthplace affects citizenship eligibility and what documentation they need.
