Primary sources for materials on European Union Citizenship

Databases

National Government Information

Google site-searching is the best way to discover primary sources from European government websites. You first need to know the top-level domain of the country. You can use the Wikipedia site to discover this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_code_top-level_domain.

For example, the TLD for Spain is "es", Austria is "at", and Greece is "gr".

Search Google Web first to discover what the government subdomain.

For example, you might search: site:es government. We see that the government subdomain is: gob.es.

It appears that Austria uses .gv. So the subdomain is: gv.at.

Greece appears to use gov, thus: gov.gr

From there we can now discover primary sources from in-country government websites. Examples:

site:gov.gr citizenship OR site:gov.gr citizenship filetype:pdf
