Frequenlty Asked Questions

  • 1) What do I need to get Italian citizenship?

    Obtaining Italian citizenship is based on the principles of jus sanguinis (right of blood) and jus soli (right of soil). To achieve the status, it is necessary to meet some specific requirements, depending on the applicable principle.

    Here are the main requirements to obtain Italian citizenship:

    Jus sanguinis (right of blood):
    You are a direct descendant of an Italian citizen (father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, great-grandfather, great-grandmother, etc.); Italian citizenship is not lost in your line of descent. In some cases, there may be limitations regarding generations born before 1948.


    Jus soli (right to soil):
    You were born in Italy and your parents are unknown or stateless, or your parents are foreigners and you legally reside in Italy until you reach the age of majority.

    In addition to these principles, there are other situations that can confer the right to Italian citizenship, such as adoption by an Italian citizen, marriage with an Italian citizen, military service in Italy, among others.

    In Italy, we have a 100% success rate in the Italian citizenship processes we carry out. Our specialized and dedicated team works tirelessly to ensure that each client meets all necessary requirements, ensuring an efficient and successful process.

  • 2) How do I find out if I am of Italian descent?

    Finding out if you are of Italian descent is the first step in starting the citizenship process. To determine your eligibility, follow these guidelines:

    Information Collection: Collect data about your family tree, identifying possible Italian ancestors, such as father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, great-grandfather, great-grandmother, etc.

    Necessary Documentation: Gather documents that prove your relationship with your Italian ancestors, such as birth, marriage and death certificates.

    Citizenship Loss Check: Make sure that Italian citizenship has not been lost in your line of descent, especially considering possible limitations for generations born before 1948.

  • 3) What is the cost to obtain Italian citizenship?

    Determining the cost of obtaining Italian citizenship can vary based on several factors, including the complexity of your case, the documents required, and the specific services that will be provided. The process may involve consular fees, official translations, genealogical research services and other elements that contribute to the total investment.

    Elements to be considered in the cost:

    Consular Fees: Depending on the type of process, there may be consular fees that vary.

    Official Translations: Certain documents may require official translations into Italian.

    Genealogical Research Services: If necessary, research services may be required to confirm Italian ancestry.

  • 4) How many generations are entitled to Italian citizenship?

    The right to Italian citizenship through jus sanguinis (right of blood) can be transmitted indefinitely for several generations, as long as the requirements established by Italian legislation are met. Positives to consider include:

    Intergenerational Transmission: The right to Italian citizenship can be transmitted from father to son, grandfather to grandson, great-grandfather to great-grandson, and so on, without specific limitation on the number of generations.

    Preservation of Cultural Identity: Obtaining Italian citizenship allows for the preservation and connection with Italian cultural and historical roots across generations.

    Access to the Benefits of Citizenship: Italian citizens enjoy the benefits of free movement within the European Union, in addition to other rights and privileges associated with Italian citizenship.

    Ease of Transmission: The process of transmitting Italian citizenship between generations is generally facilitated through documentation that proves direct ancestry.
