How to Become an Italian Citizen in Oregon

Qualify for Italian citizenship

To qualify for Italian citizenship, you must meet specific requirements based on your connection to Italy. The Italian citizenship process involves various paths, each with unique criteria and steps to follow, and an Italian citizenship expert can guide you through every step. Here’s how to get Italian citizenship under Italian law:

Jure Sanguinis (Italian Citizenship by Descent)

If you have an Italian ancestor, you may be eligible for Italian citizenship by descent, or jure s anguinis, which translates to “right of blood.” This process recognizes the transmission of citizenship through Italian ancestry, allowing you to inherit citizenship from your Italian family members. To apply, you must gather documentation proving your lineage and present it at the Italian consulate that has jurisdiction over the region in which you legally reside.

Jure Matrimonii (Italian Citizenship by Marriage)

Those married to an Italian citizen may pursue Italian citizenship by marriage, or jure matrimonii. This path requires being legally married to an Italian citizen for a certain period—typically three years if residing outside Italy, or two years if the couple has children. Applicants must meet specific language requirements and submit their application forms through the Italian consulate that has jurisdiction over their place of residence if living abroad.

Italian Citizenship Through Naturalization

For individuals not connected by Italian ancestry or marriage, citizenship through naturalization is an option. This involves residing in Italy for a required period, usually ten years, while maintaining legal status. After this time, you can apply to become eligible for Italian citizenship, offering a pathway for long-term residents who wish to solidify their connection to Italy.
