2Pass

Problem

Citizenship-by-descent and restoration rules are public, but they can be difficult to translate into a usable document plan. The answer often turns on small facts: dates, family relationships, name changes, residence records, and consulate-specific requirements.

I naturalized into Israeli and Czech citizenship after months of statute reading, consular guidance, translation questions, and apostilled documents from multiple countries. 2Pass grows out of that experience, but it stays framed as an informational research prototype rather than legal advice.

What I built

I am building a research prototype that starts with family-history facts, organizes likely eligibility paths, and turns document requirements into a clearer sequence of next steps. The work is part legal research model, part product design, and part source-tracking problem.

• Organizes family-history facts against country-specific eligibility questions
• Connects eligibility research to document requirements and filing sequence
• Built from firsthand naturalization work through Israel and the Czech Republic

Status

Research prototype and case study in active build.

Useful legal-tech work has to preserve uncertainty. A good interface should make the process clearer without pretending that public rules are simpler than they are.
