By law, you can only apply at the Italian Consulate that has jurisdiction over the State where you permanently reside. For a list of Italian Consulates here in the US, please visit: https://www.myitalianfamily.com/resource-center/find-your-italian-consulate-here-us

If you are applying for Italian Dual Citizenship through a "female" line, you may fall in the category of those born to an Italian female ancestor before 1948. The 1912 Citizenship Law granting Italian citizenship jure sanguinis stated that women could hold but not pass citizenship to their children. However, in 1948 when Italy became a Republic a new Constitution did allow for women to pass on citizenship but only to children born after January 1, 1948.
We offer free tools online on our website to determine if you qualify. Check our Citizenship Quiz and our “Learn if you Qualify” Section.
Our goal is to complete your project in approximately 12 months, but could be longer based on the slowness of government agencies to fulfill orders, etc. We work in both a serial fashion and a parallel fashion in collecting documents based on Italian and State laws. Because of this, the times shown below may overlap.
Italian Vital Records take about 2-6 months to fulfill.
Naturalization Papers take about 2-6 months to fulfill.
US Vital Records take between 2 and 6 months to fulfill.
The overall cost is based on the total number of documents that we will have to procure according to your family lineage. Upon receipt of your order and of the completed family chart, you will receive a customized proposal, with a detailed list of the required documents and the total estimated fees.
NOTE: Our Start to Finish Program includes collection of birth, marriage, death, and divorce records from both Italy and the US. (if applicable, adoption records, official name change decrees, etc.)
The Full Start-to-Finish Program includes:
• Priority Client Status, with professional Project Manager assigned to your project
• Genealogy Research to identify vital record dates and locations, if missing
• Purchase of all required Italian Vital Records
• Purchase of Naturalization Proof Documents
• Purchase of all required US Vital Records
• Obtain the required Apostilles
• All administrative and shipping fees are included
As soon as your order comes through, we will send you a Family Chart for you to complete to the best your knowledge. Once we receive it back, we will confirm your eligibility and email you the full proposal/contract tailored to your situation. A Project Manager will then be assigned to you so that the project can officially start.
NOTE: If we determine that you do not qualify, the down payment amount will be refunded to you.
This is Step 1 of our "Start to Finish" Program, designed for people who are seeking support with their Italian Dual Citizenship Application. During this 60-minute call, we will review your entire family tree, perform FREE preliminary research to complete and/or confirm your family chart, see if we can determine if you do qualify, render our opinion as to your qualifications, establish a pursuit path, and build a personalized list of all required documentation you will need to apply for Italian Dual Citizenship.
