About
What is the National Albanian Registry?
The National Albanian Registry (NAR), also known as Count Me Albanian, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2026 to produce the first community-led count of Albanians and their descendants living in the United States. The U.S. Census records approximately 224,000 Albanian Americans; community estimates including ethnic Albanians from Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro, and Greek Çamëria place the real number closer to one million. Registration is free, private, and takes 60 seconds. Each registrant receives a digital Certificate of Albanian Heritage.

The case
Why this matters
Without verified community data, Albanian Americans lack measurable influence with funders, policymakers, and institutions. NAR closes that gap.
02
Economic Visibility
Verified data attracts grants, strengthens Albanian-owned business networks, and supports the parallel Albanian American Business Association.
03
Generational Positioning
A legacy document, the Albanian Impact Report, built to serve the diaspora for decades. Your children inherit it.
FAQ
Questions Albanians actually ask
How many Albanian Americans are there in the United States?
The U.S. Census counts approximately 224,000 Albanian Americans (2024). Community estimates including ethnic Albanians from Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro, and second- and third-generation Albanian Americans place the real number closer to one million. NAR is producing the first verified community count.
Can I get Albanian citizenship by descent?
Yes. Albania's 2020 Citizenship Law (No. 113/2020) extends citizenship by descent up to a great-grandparent. No residence requirement. Dual citizenship permitted. Processing 6–12 months. After registering with NAR, we send a step-by-step consulate guide.
Is my personal information safe?
Yes. Your data is encrypted, never sold, never shared with any government, and never used for advertising. You can request full deletion at any time. We collect only what we need to count and contact you.
Are you making money off this?
No. NAR is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Funding comes from individual donations and Albanian-owned business sponsorships. Annual financials are published openly. The board is volunteer.
I'm not “fully” Albanian — does that matter?
No. If you self-identify as Albanian — by birth, descent, or ethnicity — you belong on this registry. Includes Kosovars, Macedonian Albanians, Montenegrin Albanians, Çams, and anyone of Albanian heritage anywhere on the family tree.
Who is behind NAR?
A volunteer board of Albanian Americans with regional ambassadors across the United States. Founded in 2026.
