Did you know?

The consulate is not your only option.

Most people assume you have to wait years for a consulate appointment in your home country. That is just one of the paths. You can also apply directly in Italy, at a local municipality, completely bypassing the consulate queue.

  • 1Consulate appointments in some countries take 5 to 10 years. Applying in Italy is often much faster.
  • 2You will need to stay in Italy for around 3 to 6 months to establish residency. Our team supports you through every step during that time.
  • 3Both the administrative and the judicial routes are handled directly in Italy, not through your local consulate.

Take the quiz and we will tell you which route fits your situation.

Do You Qualify for Italian Citizenship?

Answer 5 quick questions and we will tell you exactly where you stand.

Two paths to Italian citizenship

Italian citizenship law has always had two routes. In March 2025, Italy passed Law 74/2025 which changed the standard administrative route. But the judicial route through Italian courts was not affected. Your options depend on how far back your Italian connection goes.

Your parent or grandparent was born in Italy. The standard administrative route is open for you.
⚖️Your connection goes back to a great-grandparent or further. The standard administrative route is now closed. But the judicial route through Italian courts was not affected by the 2025 change and may still be available for your case.
ℹ️Had an application already in progress before March 27, 2025? You may still be protected under transitional rules. Just ask us.
