Why is Italian Dual Citizenship becoming more and more popular?

If you have an Italian Ancestor in your blood line you may be in luck. But before your journey begins, you must determine whether you have a solid claim through your Italian ancestor.  How? Let’s start by answering to the following questions: 

What is the REAL “Start-to-Finish Program” when it comes to Italian Citizenship Assistance? It is a proven fact that putting together a complete and accurate document portfolio takes time and is not easy. That is why people applying for Italian Dual Citizenship often turn to specialized companies with the expectation that all their Italian and U.S. records will be purchased and prepared for them by these firms. 

Having an ancestor who was born in Italy is not the only eligibility requirement for Italian Dual Citizenship: you have to make sure your Italian born ancestor did not become a U.S. citizen before the birth of his/her son or daughter here in the United States. NOTE: if your Italian ancestor took the oath before July 1, 1912, his or her descendants are not eligible.

For those of you who are lost in translation (!), AIRE may sound a little complicated; it is not. It stands for “Anagrafe Italiani Residenti all’Estero” or Registry of Italian Citizens residing Abroad.

Who needs to register with AIRE? 

1. All Italian citizens who are relocating abroad for more than 12 months.

2. Italian citizens who already reside abroad, either because they were born abroad, or because they have acquired Italian citizenship for multiple reasons, e.g., by right of blood, by marriage, etc.
