Italian Citizenship & Geneology Services

Description

Hello, I read with interest your messages particularly EM. I am an american citizen, born in Italy in 1946 of italian mother and american father. Mother and Father were married in Italy in 1945 which gave my mother the right to enter the US, apply for naturalizzation etc under the War Brides Act 1945. I am applying for italian citizenship since I have been living in Italy for over 20 years now and with only a permesso di soggiorno (visa) which I have to renew every 5 years (this is tiring). In any case, the italian court judge is very much interested if my mother attained immediate citizenship at the time of her marriage to my amerian father. I need to document that no she did not but she did acquire the right to enter the U.S. because of the marriage and then the right to naturalize. Also, I'm thinking that mother remained an italian citizenship right up until the time she took the "oath" for citizenship after 3 years of residence in the U.S. Do you happen to know anything about this because if I am right then when I was born, I was born to an italian citizenship who was italian for 3 years after my birth therefore I would have the right to italian citizenship.

Italian Citizenship & Genealogy Services was founded in August of 2002, in response to the serious lack of information on the Internet about the process of applying for Italian citizenship. For many years, the only option was to take multiple trips to the nearest Italian consulate to get specific instructions on preparing and submitting an application.

If you are an American and you fall under the jurisdiction of the Italian consulate in Houston, you do NOT need to provide translations. They will translate your certificates for you. Continue directly to Step 6: Preparing for an Appointment with the Italian Embassy or Consulate . If you are not applying through an Italian consulate in the USA, find out if you need to provide your own translations. If not, you can skip this step.

Your Order Number appears on both your order confirmation email (from ICGS) and your payment confirmation email (as Merchant Order ID). The email address that you should use here is the one that is currently associated with your account.

Now, in 2012, there are more resources on the internet for potential applicants - in fact, this site and accompanying message board (which we also maintain) is the best source of practical and reliable information about applying for Italian citizenship online. The benefits of dual citizenship are many and with proper information and resources it can actually be fairly simple to obtain. It is our goal to provide you with the resources you need to make a successful application for Italian citizenship in as little time, and with as little effort, as possible.
