Italy

Most people may not realize it, but they could actually be citizens of Italy from birth. Italy requires you to prove your Italian ancestry with proper documentation to apply for and obtain Italian citizenship and does not require you to renounce your current citizenship(s), which allows you to hold two or more passports and be a dual-citizen or “multi”-citizen. Our team helps people like you learn how to become an Italian citizen and realize their dream of getting dual citizenship.

Ways to Get Italian/American Dual Citizenship

Our Team can help people who are descendants of an Italian citizen or married to an Italian citizen to gain recognition of Italian citizenship by descent (jure sanguinis) or obtain Italian citizenship by marriage. We represent an experienced team of Italian dual citizenship attorneys and specialists who are experts in Italian citizenship law and immigration, translations, and genealogy.

• You’re descended from someone who was alive in Italy after March 17, 1861.
• The ancestor did not naturalize in another country before June 14, 1912.
• The ancestor did not naturalize before the birth of descendants interested in how to get Italian citizenship.
• If the direct-line Italian ancestor is a woman born before January 1, 1948, citizenship can only be claimed from her father’s line.
• No one in the family renounced their Italian citizenship.
