Italian Citizenship
Qualifying
Italian citizenship by descent means an Italian born male or female ancestor did not break the line of citizenship within your lineage. Children born to an Italian parent automatically inherited the right to pass on Italian citizenship through jure sanguinis (right of blood).
Under Italian law, Italian-born women, and women of Italian descent, could hold but not pass citizenship to their children born before January 1, 1948. Italian-born women and women born abroad who held Italian citizenship were discriminated against as well as Italian women married to non-Italian men until the 1948 Rule went into effect.
Depending on your Italian ancestor, you may qualify for Italian citizenship through jure sanguinis, a 1948 case, or through marriage.
Prove Your Ancestry
To successfully apply for Italian citizenship, you must provide the required documentation to prove your claim to Italy. This means, the birth certificate of the Italian born ancestor, naturalization records or proof of no naturalization, marriage certificates, death certificates, and the birth, marriage, and certificates of those next in line.
Along with your required ancestry documentation, proper identification, proof of address, and the applicable forms will be required.
