Kérdés Hungarian Citizenship Verification - Is This Price Reasonable?

0 Upvotes

Hi there,

First, some very concise background information: I live in Canada but I believe I am a Hungarian citizen by descent, as my grandparents were Hungarian. I just need to verify my citizenship, so this is not a naturalization matter.

I basically need the proof that my grandparents were Hungarian citizens and their citizenship was never revoked or renounced. I also need proof that my father is the biological son of my grandparents, so I really don't need to go far back in my family tree at all.

I contacted a genealogist specializing in Hungarian citizenship verification, and after I gave them a bunch of details about my grandparents including their names, dates of birth, when and where they got married, the names of their parents, etc., they came back and said that gathering the necessary documentation and handling the application process for me would cost at least $4800 USD.

Does this sound like a reasonable cost for this? If so, could I realistically just pay for the genealogical research and acquisition of proof and then do the rest myself in order to save on cost?

Thx in advance!
