Italian Citizenship by descent
The Italian citizenship is mainly based on the principle of the "right of blood" (Latin: "iure sanguinis") which it means that the Italian citizenship is transferred from a parent to his child regardless of the place of birth with no generations limiting. In fact, the child of an Italian citizen is also Italian even if he was born abroad but with few limitations in the administrative way:
Maternal line
The previous Italian legislation limited the woman's possibility to transfer their Italian citizenship their children. Therefore, when the lineage of citizenship i included woman the case must be examined by us and we will recommend the most appropriate way to manage the process.
Italian born
With the instructions of the Italian Ministry of the Interior circular of 8 April 1991, the citizenship recognition process must take into account your ancestor who was born in Italy. In many cases, the applicant can prove that he has an Italian citizen relative but he was not born in Italy (for example: the Italian immigrants to Egypt children's).
Missing docs
The instructions of the aforementioned circular require many historical documents that are sometimes impossible to obtain or reproduce. (for example: a marriage certificate that celebrated in a third country or an unregistered birth certificate). In the absence of these, the application will not be accepted. therefore, another procedure should be considered.
Italian colonies
Throughout history, Italy had colonies outside today's Italy, such as: Italian Africa (Libya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia) as well as Croatia, Greece, Albania and more. According to the law, the descendants of those countries born during the relevant periods, may be eligible for Italian citizenship. Such requests probably will not be successful in an administrative procedure, so another procedure must be considered.
