To grant citizenship to someone, Italy adopts the principle of “Ius Sanguinis”, that is, Right of Blood. Anyone who can prove they are of Italian descent has the right to Italian citizenship, and may be a son, grandson, great-grandson and so on. Regardless of where the person was born.
Descendants need to prove their link to an Italian ancestor and applications for citizenship can be made in Italian comuni (town halls), Italian consulates around the world and before the courts in Italy.
In order for Italian citizenship to be recognized, a legal action directly in Italy is recommended, which will be managed by our team of lawyers present in Italy. This way you avoid long queues at consulates.
It is not necessary for the applicant to travel to Italy during the process.
Action is also possible when the application to the consulate is rejected or has been frozen for several years.
Our office can assist you in preparing the necessary documentation for the recognition of Italian citizenship through your father and in the subsequent application for Italian citizenship.
We have professionals fluent in English and Italian.
