Racines d’Algérie is a personal support service founded by Karim Hanni for people whose family histories are connected to Algeria. It helps clients navigate administrative and consular procedures, reconnect with family origins, and preserve memories for future generations. Support covers applications and renewals for passports and consular cards, including the 12S document, as well as questions involving nationality, family relationships, and complex cases where names, dates, or records do not align.

The service also helps people locate civil-status documents and archives, investigate family names and villages, and piece together family histories. For those wishing to reconnect through travel, Racines d’Algérie can help prepare a trip linked to their heritage and, where useful, arrange local welcome or support. A free guide, “Mes Racines Algériennes,” helps visitors identify where to begin.

The approach is personal and paced to each client’s needs, with referrals to other professionals, associations, and local contacts when appropriate. Alongside practical assistance, the brand encourages families to record stories, photographs, recipes, and memories that official documents cannot capture
