The National Albanian Registry is a volunteer-built nonprofit creating the real count of Albanian Americans.

The Census records 224,000 of us — the community is closer to a million.

The Census counts 224,000 of us — the community is closer to a million.

Are you Albanian?

Welcome back. Are you Albanian?

Last one —

Are you in the US?

Thanks for stopping by.

Know an Albanian American? Pass it on.

Welcome, fellow Albanian.

We count Albanian Americans specifically. Know one? Pass it on — we need them counted.

What's stopping you from registering?

Pick one. We'll show you the proof.

Your data is yours. ICE doesn't see it.

Encrypted. Never sold. No government access — ever.

Real org. Public proof.

501(c)(3) filed. Eight founders — every name, role, and vote public. Mixed diaspora: Albania-born and US-born, immigrants and second generation. The bylaws lock out single-person control on purpose.

224K keeps us invisible to the institutions that decide.

No state has to print an Albanian ballot — Albanian isn't on the Voting Rights Act's list, and hasn't been since 1975. No Albanian box on the Census, just a write-in most people skip. Few Albanian-American programs funded the way larger, counted communities are. Each starts with the Albanian community being visible to the institutions that decide — and the broader community is close to a million, far more than the official tally reflects. NAR's community-led count runs alongside the Census; your name helps show the real number.

Half. Quarter. Third generation. All counted.

Most registrants don't speak fluent Albanian. Many never met their Albanian grandparents. The official ancestry question rarely reaches anyone who isn't 100% sure they 'qualify' — the community-led count is where your name shows up.
