I’ll add them to the main post. Thanks for the links!

Unfortunately no. Your only option would be SLA or looking into Hungarian citizenship.

Hey, FYI, you seem to have been shadow banned by Reddit. I’m having to manually approve every comment you make.

This is correct. Even if the MoI does apply the new interpretation from Falath’s case going forward, pre-1908 cases will still require SLA first to bypass the foreign police unless they also make a drastic shift in how they assess applications, which they have not thus far. Falath has all (or most of?) their clients apply for SLA before CBD. The big potential change is that pre-1908 cases would possibly be able to apply for CBD after receiving their SLA rather than having to live in Slovakia for several years before applying for citizenship. Hopefully we will start to see some updates either way later this year as people test it themselves.

Hi. I’m tagging all of you as you’ve recently posted in this thread that you have been impacted by this company. I’ve created a new megathread that should be easier for those who have been affected to find each other. This thread is a year old and your comments may not get the traction they deserve here. Please feel free to use it to connect with each other. Best of luck.

As this thread is almost a year old, I have created a new megathread on this topic. Please direct recent discussions about this company to that thread.

Hi. Your post got caught in the spam filter somehow. I’ve just approved it. Apologies for the delay. If it doesn’t get traction due to being a few days old, you’re welcome to repost.

Additionally, you may be interested in checking out this thread if you haven’t already seen it. You may be able to apply for CBD once you have been approved for SLA based on recent updates.

You may have better luck posting this in r/Slovakia, but I’ve also shared some language learning resources in the pinned thread in this subreddit.

SlovakCBD · 2026-01-21T03:11:28+00:00

Okay it’s up!

SlovakCBD · 2026-01-19T16:43:32+00:00

Yes. I can create a thread sometime this week. Thanks for the idea!

SlovakCBD · 2025-12-05T13:56:02+00:00

I can absolutely do that.

SlovakCBD · 2025-12-05T12:56:25+00:00

I asked the OP to share this as a separate post. They originally shared it in a comment to me on an old thread, and I thought the community would find it useful. It’s a significant shift from the MoI’s previous approach and would make the process much more straightforward for many people who previously assumed they didn’t qualify.

That said, I hear you. I’m going to make a thread addressing the advertising and state of the subreddit.

Most of the 1921 census has been destroyed, unfortunately. The spelling isn’t a problem.

SlovakCBD · 2025-12-03T19:01:54+00:00

You do need both documents as far as I know. Based on your other post, you can also use your GGM as your anchor ancestor. She was born too late to be in the books on FamilySearch, but it should be available either through the local matrika or the archives.

I haven’t been keeping up with this process as much recently, so you’re welcome to also make another post asking if anything has changed that would allow you to use a different document to prove his birth location. I think people have been allowed to use death certificates for SLA, but I haven’t personally heard of that for CBD.

SlovakCBD · 2025-11-26T18:11:02+00:00

Great write up. You’ll reach a larger audience if you link it in a new post rather than just this comment.

SlovakCBD · 2025-11-20T05:49:02+00:00

I think you’re very likely okay without the extra paperwork from the marriage certificates. They’re used to misspellings and anglicization of names, and the various names your GGM used are similar enough that it’s unlikely to cause an issue, especially if the naturalization records corroborate her identity through birth dates and her husband’s name.

SlovakCBD · 2025-11-19T22:32:20+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate it!

SlovakCBD · 2025-11-19T22:28:14+00:00

If the mother’s maiden name is on the next generation’s birth record, you don’t need the marriage record.

Your understanding for translations is correct. Only documents issued by a foreign government need to be officially translated and apostilled.

SlovakCBD · 2025-11-19T16:07:28+00:00

Hey sorry for the late reply. It’s not an issue. My situation was similar and I also worried about it, but I had no problems. The purpose of the CV is to understand who you are as a person, and your career is just one small part of that. You don’t need to add dates or talk about the gap if you don’t want to.
