Guiding the Italian Dual Citizenship Process

For the past three years, we have helped people with the process of obtaining dual US/Italian citizenship. This involves gathering and submitting various official documents such as Italian and US birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, and consular forms.

A Detailed Approach to Italian Citizenship

Gathering the necessary documents for a dual citizenship application to the Italian Consulate involves several, detailed steps. Let us help you.

As a brief overview, generally, you need the following:

You will need certified copies of Birth, Marriage, and Death certificates issued by the corresponding vital records departments, for everyone in your "line", back to the last person born in Italy. Details vary based on the Italian Consulate where you apply. We can help you navigate the process.
US Vital records require translation and certification by the state department that issued the document. This is called an apostille.
Proof of Italian Heritage: From Italy, you will need, at a minimum, the vital records of the last Italian born in Italy - the starting point of your lineage.
You will need to provide proof that your Italian line is intact. This involves obtaining a Certificate of Naturalization or Oath of Allegiance or proof of no naturalization.
Proof of Residence: The Italian Consulate requires proof of your residence in the corresponding consulate region where you currently live.

How We Help: Italian Citizenship Application

You are Italian!

Perhaps your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, or great-great-grandparents were from Italy.

You now desire to have your Italian citizenship recognized.

Each person has a unique story linking them to possible citizenship, as unique as each puzzle piece in a puzzle. Your last ancestor born in Italy was to report his life events to his comune after he left Italy. The vast majority did not. They were busy making a new life for themselves in the United States, Canada, South America, or even Australia. So, you must complete the puzzle, and each piece of that puzzle must be a set of documents: vital records, ship manifests, naturalization records, census records, affidavits, Certificates of No Record, and letters from the National Archives and US Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Where do you start and how do you get this massive project accomplished in your busy life?

We are passionate about putting these stories together, and know just how to guide you in the journey.
