The Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs (OCMA) is the competent authority in Latvia, which reviews citizenship applications and makes decisions on acquisition of Latvian citizenship. Further information on citizenship, including dual citizenship, documents to be submitted and forms to be filled in is available on the webpage of OCMA.
Documents of civil registration records should be translated into the Latvian language (except for the case when a document is in English, German, French or Russian) and legalised under a procedure established by law. More information on authentication and legalisation of documents here.
Please be advised to submit your application by post to OCMA (Čiekurkalna 1.līnija 1, k-3, Rīga, LV-1026).
