Italian Citizenship jure sanguinis - Qualifying

Q. Do I have to speak Italian to become an Italian citizen?
A. No, citizenship jure sanguinis is your birthright. You are only required to prove your lineage to an Italian citizen.

Q. Is there a residency requirement to become an Italian citizen?
A. No, for the reason mentioned above.

Q. I?ve read on other websites that Italian citizenship jure sanguinis is only available through grandparents. Your website says that there is no generational limit. Which is correct?
A. We can state with absolute certainty that Italian citizenship jure sanguinis is possible through great grandparents. The fact that there is NO generational limit for citizenship through ancestry has been confirmed by various Italian consulates.

Q. I was born in Italy. Do I qualify for dual citizenship?
A. Italian citizens by birth who never became naturalized citizens of their adopted country are eligible for an Italian passport. Contact the nearest Italian embassy or consulate for details. If you need to order your birth certificate, you can do so here.
Italian citizens who were naturalized in their adopted country prior to August 15, 1992, implicitly renouncing their right to Italian citizenship, can reinstate it by returning to Italy and residing there for at least one year.
Italian citizens who became naturalized citizens of their adopted country after August 15, 1992, retained their Italian citizenship unless they expressly renounced it. They are required to personally inform the Italian consulate of becoming citizens within ninety days, or when they reach their 18th birthday, otherwise they risk a fine.

Q. If I acquire Italian citizenship jure sanguinis, is my spouse eligible to become an Italian citizen?
A. Yes. The principle of jure sanguinis is that, if you qualify for Italian citizenship through ancestry, you have actually been an Italian citizen since birth. This process simply recognizes the citizenship you already possess. The Italian law states that spouses of Italian citizens can apply for citizenship after six months of marriage if a couple is living in Italy and after three years of marriage if they are living abroad. Consider a person living outside of Italy who has already been married for over three years. Once he or she is recognized as an Italian citizen jure sanguinis, the spouse may apply for Italian citizenship immediately! Why? Because the Italian has been a citizen since birth and the couple has been married for over three years.

Q. If I acquire Italian citizenship jure sanguinis, will my children become Italian citizens?
A. Yes, if your children are under the age of eighteen. If they are eighteen or older and qualify, they will need to apply separately.

Q. Is there a limit to the number of generations through which Italian citizenship jure sanguinis can be passed?
A. According to Italian law, there is no limit, provided that your Italian ancestor was born in Italy and emigrated after 1861 (see below) and that you can produce documentation proving your lineage. Italian citizenship jure sanguinis cannot skip generations; there must be a continuous link between you and your ancestor from Italy.

Q. What if my Italian ancestor was born prior to 1861?
A. Our understanding is that all residents of the territory of Italy automatically become Italian citizens when the country united in 1861. If your ancestor was born in Italy before 1861, but emigrated after 1861, he or she was an Italian citizen. If your ancestor was born in Italy and emigrated before 1861, he or she was NOT an Italian citizen.

Q. I've looked through all the categories on your Qualifying page, but I?m still not sure if I qualify.
A. Whatever your circumstances, remember that there are two principle laws governing Italian citizenship jure sanguinis. The first is that citizenship can only be passed to a child while the parent is still an Italian citizen. That is, parents who became naturalized citizens of their new country BEFORE the birth of their children lost their Italian citizenship and COULD NOT pass citizenship on to them, while parents who became naturalized AFTER the birth of their children COULD pass citizenship on to them.

The second law is that citizenship could not be passed from a woman to her children prior to January 1, 1948. That is not to say that citizenship could not be passed TO females prior to 1948; it just could not be passed FROM a mother before January 1, 1948.
Citizenship jure sanguinis has no generational limit (provided the Italian ancestor was born after 1861) but may not, under any circumstances, SKIP generations.

Q. What does renouncing one's right to Italian citizenship mean?
A. Native-born Italian citizens renounce their right to Italian citizenship when they become naturalized citizens of a foreign country. Persons born outside Italy who qualify for Italian citizenship jure sanguinis renounce their right to Italian citizenship only by doing so explicitly in an Italian embassy or consulate.

Q. My Italian parent/grandparent/great grandparent was born in Italy, but was naturalized along with his or her parents as a minor. Does it still count as renouncing one's right to Italian citizenship if the child was too young to make a conscious choice?
A. Yes. If your parent/grandparent/great grandparent was naturalized as a minor, he or she effectively renounced his or her right to Italian citizenship. This means that your ancestor was unable to pass Italian citizenship jure sanguinis to his or her children as an adult. Unfortunately, no exceptions are made in these cases.

Q. I've heard the law prohibiting women from passing citizenship to their children before January 1, 1948 has been overturned. Is this true?
A. NO! This has been confirmed by two Italian consulates. There was indeed a one-off decision by the Italian supreme court some years ago but it was subsequently overturned. As things stand, only children born to Italian mothers after January 1, 1948 are eligible.

Q. Can I qualify for citizenship jure sanguinis through my Italian great grandmother?
A. Remember that prior to January 1, 1948, women could not pass Italian citizenship jure sanguinis on to their children. So unless your grandparent was born after January 1, 1948, the answer is no.

Q. I don't qualify for Italian citizenship jure sanguinis OR I don't have Italian ancestors. How else can I acquire Italian citizenship?
A. There are other ways of acquiring Italian citizenship, but none of them nearly as easy as being recognized jure sanguinis. If you're looking to spend just a few years working in Europe and you don't qualify for citizenship through ancestry, you will probably want to take the traditional route and look for a company or school to sponsor your visa. If you are truly committed to becoming an Italian citizen, you may do so after legally living in Italy (i.e. with a visa or stay permit of some sort) for the following periods of time:
one year if you are have formerly held Italian citizenship
three years if you are a foreigner with native-born Italian parents or grandparents
four years if you are a citizen of another EU country
ten years if you are a citizen of a non-EU country
Note: While being recognized as an Italian citizen jure sanguinis does not affect your current citizenship in most cases (since it was your birthright), becoming an Italian citizen through residence or naturalization may affect your native citizenship. Check with the nearest Italian authority for more information.

Of course, you are also eligible for Italian citizenship if you marry an Italian citizen. If you and your spouse live in Italy, you can apply for citizenship after six months of marriage. If you both live outside of Italy, you can apply after three years of marriage.

There are a few other cases in which Italian citizenship may be granted to a foreigner, such as civil or military service or outstanding service to Italy. For further information, contact the nearest Italian authority.

Italian Citizenship jure sanguinis - Naturalization

Q. What is naturalization?
A. Naturalization is the process by which a person of foreign birth is granted full citizenship in his or her new country. Laws governing the process of naturalization change from country to country. In the United States, for example, a foreigner interested in becoming a naturalized citizen must be over the age of eighteen, live in the US legally for at least five years, have good moral character, be able to speak English, have some knowledge of American history and take an oath of allegiance to the United States renouncing all foreign citizenships.

Q. How do I get a certificate of naturalization for my Italian ancestor?
A. Visit: http://www.italiamerica.org/id6.htm

Q. How do I find out what year my Italian ancestor was naturalized?
A. Visit this page of our site: http://italiamerica.org/id6.htm

Q. What if my Italian ancestor was never naturalized?
A. You must prove that your ancestor never became naturalized this with a certification of "NO RECORDS" from the U.S. Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS) as proof that your ancestor was never naturalized. You will also need a statement of "NO RECORDS" from the National Archives and a survey report from a census dated after the date of birth of your ancestor's child.
To use our Naturalization Service, visit this page of our site: http://italiamerica.org/id6.htm

Q. I have my Italian ancestor's original certificate of naturalization, which is required for my citizenship application. Will the Italian consulate need to keep this?
A. No, a photocopy of the original will suffice. Just to be safe, bring the original to the embassy or consulate when you submit your application so that they can confirm its authenticity.

grazie. ma non capisco l'inglese

Mi scuso in anticipo perche' non sono riuscita a trovarlo in italiano.

grazie. ma non capisco l'inglese

il succo e' che se uno dimostra di avere un parente (nella linea dei genitori)vicino o lontano nato in italia per diritto di sangue viene considerato italiano alla nascita anche se non nato in italia. si trasmette sia attraverso mamma e papa' e praticamente non c'e' limite generazionale allo jure sanguinis anche se questo e' legalmente valido dal 1861 quindi trasmesso dai genitori, nonni e bisnonni.

Bene MC LEan ha origini italiane.

E Vosawai ?

[mc_leuz]

Bene MC LEan ha origini italiane.

E' italiano e convocabile.

E Vosawai ?

Non è italiano ma è convocabile perchè l'International rugby Board prevede che sia convocabile per residenza chi risiede e gioca da almeno 3 anni in un determinato paese.

[luqa]

Per l'IRB valgono Ius Sanguini, Ius Soli, e residenza.

Per la cittadinanza italiana solo lo Ius Sanguini. O il matrimonio.
