Join us for a presentation on obtaining a Slovak Living Abroad (SLA) certificate and Slovak citizenship by descent. This session will guide you through the historic 2022 changes in the law
that now allow descendants of Czechoslovak citizens (including great-grandparents) born on the territory of today’s Slovak Republic to claim citizenship. We'll cover eligibility requirements, complete document checklists, the apostille and translation process,
application procedures at the Slovak Embassy in Washington, DC, and realistic timelines. Whether you're taking your first steps to reconnect with your Slovak heritage, or are already deep in the application process, you'll leave with a clear roadmap, practical
examples of required Slovak documents, and knowledge of available resources to successfully navigate your journey to Slovak citizenship.
