10/25/23 • 21 min

When you've successfully gathered all the essential documents required to reclaim your Italian citizenship, the next crucial step is selecting the optimal venue to submit your Italian citizenship application.
Where are you expected to submit your citizenship application?
Explore with us the options and their respective pros and cons:

Citizenship application at the Italian Consulate
Citizenship application in Italy, via a Comune
"1948 case" court procedures, in case of use of a female line of the family.
"Denied Justice" new approach.

Citizenship by Residency (Three-Year Rule): If you don't have Italian ancestry but wish to become an Italian citizen, you can move to Italy with a valid visa, obtain a permit to stay, and live in Italy for three years. After three years of lawful residency, you can apply for Italian citizenship.
Citizenship by Residency (Ten-Year Rule): A longer but viable option is living in Italy for ten years with a valid permit to stay. After ten years of lawful residency, you can apply for Italian citizenship. You'll need to demonstrate proficiency in the Italian language for this option.

Reacquisition of Italian Citizenship: If you lost your Italian citizenship together with your parents who naturalized as U.S. citizens before 1992, you can reclaim it. You'll need to make a declaration at the Italian consulate in your home country, move to Italy within a year, and establish legal residency there.

The hosts also hint at discussing citizenship through marriage in a future episode and solutions for dealing with consulate appointment backlogs.
