Guyanese Citizenship by Descent Guide

You can do this yourself. This guide shows you how.

A clear, step by step guide to registering a foreign birth with Guyana and applying for a first Guyana passport through the Guyana Consulate in New York. You do not have to live in New York to use it.

I wrote this guide because people kept asking me how I got Guyanese citizenship and a Guyana passport for my U.S. born son. The truth is, the process is not hard once you know what has to happen, what to bring, and in what order.

Inside you will find:

22 clear steps across two parts, a field by field walkthrough of both forms, packing lists for both appointments, tips and common mistakes, a preparation workbook, and two bonus sections for parents and for your next trip home.

One wasted trip to the Consulate costs more than this guide.
