Am I eligible?

Italy recognizes citizenship by descent (jure sanguinis) with no fixed generational limit if the chain of citizenship wasn’t broken by an ancestor’s naturalization **before** their child’s birth.

• Italian ancestor whose citizenship wasn’t lost before the next birth in line

• Naturalization certificate or **no-record** proof for the ancestor

• Long-form U.S./foreign vital records (birth, marriage, death) for each person in the line

• Apostilles & certified translations to Italian

Frequently asked questions

Do I qualify if my ancestor naturalized?

You may still qualify if the naturalization occurred after the birth of their child in your line, or if no record exists. We help build a no‑record proof pack when applicable.

What about maternal lines before 1948?

The Italian Court of Cassation's 2009 decision enabled descendants born to Italian mothers before 1948 to claim citizenship via judicial proceedings.

How long does it take?

Most cases complete recognition in 12–18 months depending on consulate/commune and document readiness.

Can siblings apply together?

Yes—shared records reduce both time and cost. Ask about our sibling bundle (–25%).

Can I apply in Italy?

Yes—commune processing is possible. We advise on logistics, required residency proofs, and timing.

Will I lose my U.S. citizenship?

No. The U.S. permits dual citizenship. Italy does not require renunciation for jure sanguinis recognition.
