Our Italian Citizenship Recognition Services

The most traditional and well-known route. If you are of Italian descent, you can apply for your citizenship directly at the Consulate in your region or by temporarily residing in Italy and
presenting your documentation at the Comune (municipality). This process requires complete organization
of documents, translations, apostilles, and official protocols—all closely monitored
by our team to ensure peace of mind.

With the change in the law in 2025, the recognition of Italian citizenship now has new rules, deadlines, and requirements. Many consulates face long lines and, in several cases,
exceed the legal deadline for a response—which remains set at 24 months by Italian law.
In these situations, it is possible to resort to the judicial process in Italy, known as Iure
Sanguinis. This route is legitimate, provided for by law, and conducted by specialized lawyers. At
We Are Italian, we study each case individually and evaluate the best strategy,
whether through consular channels, directly in Italy, or through the courts. Our commitment is to defend the rights
of descendants of Italians in the face of legislative changes, ensuring technical and secure support at every stage.

Until 1948, Italian law did not allow women to pass on citizenship to their children. Therefore, many descendants were prevented from obtaining recognition. Today, based on court decisions that declared this restriction unconstitutional, it is possible to recognize citizenship through maternal inheritance when the offspring comes from a woman who gave birth before 1948. Our team follows this special process in every detail, offering document analysis and legal representation to ensure the right is duly recognized.

Those married to an Italian citizen can apply for naturalization through marriage, a procedure that grants the foreign spouse the right to citizenship. This process requires proof of a valid marriage, a minimum length of marriage, and proficiency in the Italian language (level B1). Somos Italianos handles all the document preparation, protocols, and support to ensure the application is processed correctly in accordance with Italian law.
