– “My grandparent was French — do I qualify?”

– “My application was refused — what now?”

– “I'm in a Livret de famille. Can I apply for a French passport?”

– “My birth was registered with the authorities, but my passport application was refused"

– "I was summoned to the French army, but the Consulate does not accept my French passport application"

– “My CNF application was refused — what now?”

– “Do I need a CNF or is there a faster way?”

If this sounds familiar, you are not alone.

French nationality law can be complex — especially when dealing with consulates, unclear requirements, or blocked applications.

I am Julio Vero, a Citizenship and Immigration Attorney based in Paris. I assist clients with administrative and legal procedures to pursue an EU passport. I provide guidance on different pathways, including:

French Citizenship by descent (Ius Sanguinis)
French Citizenship by marriage
French Citizenship through residence
Immigration to France
Swiss Citizenship by descent and marriage

I also work in close coordination with Attorneys from other EU member states to manage your application for Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Polish, Bulgarian and German nationality by ancestry.
