The Transatlantic Advantage
Two Founders. One Unbroken Line.
Hummingbird Consultancy was founded on a single conviction: heritage should never be lost to bureaucracy. Martin Taylor, based in Los Angeles, translates a century of family history into a precise, defensible legal file — and stands beside you from the first call to the citizenship oath.
His co-founder works from Budapest, retrieving documents in person across Hungarian national, county, and parish archives. Records that consultants abroad declare unobtainable are located, certified, and translated — often within weeks rather than years.
“One unbroken chain of custody — from your kitchen table in North America to the archive rooms of Central Europe.”

A Four-Step Blueprint to Your Hungarian Passport
Client Proof
Consular milestones, in our clients' own words.
Two archives told my family the records were destroyed. Hummingbird found my great-grandfather's 1901 birth entry in a parish book in three weeks.
The consular file was flawless. My officer in Los Angeles said it was the most complete descent application she had reviewed all year.
I applied for myself and my two children at once. Martin mapped the entire lineage chain before we ever paid a fee.
From London the process felt impossible. Having someone physically in Budapest changed everything about the timeline.
Translations, appointment booking, interview prep — nothing was left for me to guess at. Genuinely white-glove.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know About Ancestral Citizenship
Clear answers on eligibility, required documents, timeline, and process.
If you have a Hungarian-born ancestor — parent, grandparent, great-grandparent or further back — you may qualify under simplified naturalisation, provided the lineage can be documented with civil or parish records. There is no generational limit in Hungarian law, only an evidentiary one. Your free qualification call establishes this before any fee is paid.
Our comprehensive end-to-end representation is $2,500 – $3,500 depending on the complexity of your lineage and the number of archives involved. That covers eligibility assessment, archival retrieval in Hungary, certified translations, consular scheduling, and guidance through submission and the oath. Government and consular fees are separate and paid directly by you.
Simplified naturalisation includes a conversational Hungarian requirement assessed at your interview. We prepare you for exactly what is asked and refer you to tailored tutors who specialise in descent applicants, so preparation is targeted rather than open-ended language study.
Archive retrieval typically runs one to four months depending on the regions involved. Once the file is submitted, Hungarian authorities generally decide within six to twelve months, followed by the oath and passport issuance. Most clients complete the journey within twelve to eighteen months.
Your own vital records — birth, marriage, and name-change documents — plus anything already in your family's possession such as old passports, letters, photographs, or church certificates. We retrieve everything on the Hungarian side ourselves.
Yes. Minor children can generally be included in your application, and once you are a citizen the line passes onward to descendants born afterwards. Many clients file as a family unit to secure the entitlement in a single process.
