Path to Slovenian citizenship by repatriation: step-by-step instructions
Formalization of citizenship under the simplified procedure requires care, legal precision and individual approach. We accompany our clients all the way from the first request to obtaining a Slovenian passport.
Consultation and preliminary analysis of documents
We explain in detail the repatriation mechanism and the key conditions for participation in the simplified program. We analyze the submitted documents proving Slovenian origin. Specialists assess the prospects for citizenship on the basis of specific data and, in the absence of necessary documents, perform a professional search for archival and official records both in Slovenia and abroad.
Formation of a complete set of documents
To apply for citizenship, it is necessary to collect and prepare a dossier in strict accordance with the requirements of the Slovenian Ministry of Interior (Ministrstvo za notranje zadeve). The package includes a standard citizenship application form (to be filled out under the supervision of our specialists), identity card, CV, criminal record certificate, documents of Slovenian origin, proof of participation in the cultural life of the Slovenian diaspora. All foreign documents must be translated into Slovenian and notarized. We take care of the verification and finalization of the dossier. This minimizes the risk of rejection or delay at the review stage.
Submission of the application and oath
The completed package is submitted by our lawyer to the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Slovenia. The application is registered, officially verified and then the state duty is paid. The processing time depends on the workload of the office and the completeness of the submitted data. After approval, the applicant is invited to Slovenia for the official citizenship ceremony. As part of the procedure, the applicant signs the citizenship acceptance document and swears an oath. At the end of the procedure, a certificate of citizenship is presented.
Receipt of Slovenian documents
After taking the oath, you become a full-fledged citizen of Slovenia and can obtain a personal ID card at the administrative office in the place of registration. You are required to submit your citizenship certificate, photograph and fingerprints. A passport is issued through the Ministry of Interior, consulate or embassy. If necessary, a tax number (Davčna številka) is also issued – it will be needed for employment, opening a business or obtaining banking services.
