Benefits of Italian Dual Citizenship
Though the path to becoming an Italian citizen may seem long, the numerous benefits awaiting at the journey’s end make it a worthwhile pursuit. The advantages of Italian citizenship obtained through jure matrimonii (Italian citizenship by marriage), jure sanguinis (Italian citizenship by descent), or naturalization include:
- Access to high-quality, low-cost education in Italy for you or your children
- The opportunity to purchase property in Italy as an EU citizen
- Legal protection under Italian citizenship law
- The ability to pass on citizenship to your children as descendants of Italian women and men in a straightforward and stress-free manner
When you consider these benefits, the lengthy process through the Italian courts to apply for Italian citizenship seems trivial. Pennsylvania residents can check their eligibility with ITAMCAP and allow our professional translators, genealogy specialists, and more to handle most of the work.
Qualifying for Italian Citizenship and Applying for an Italian Passport
The Italian government has established several ways to become an Italian citizen and eventually meet Italian passport requirements. You may be eligible by descent, marriage, or naturalization, granting you Italian citizenship.
However, navigating this journey without an expert team in Pennsylvania can be daunting. At ITAMCAP, we provide guidance tailored to your specific circumstances and undertake all necessary genealogy research. Your path to Italian citizenship will be unique, with varying requirements. Generally, officials will need a range of documents to confirm your eligibility, including:
- Information about your Italian ancestor(s), potentially including Italian genealogy records, Italian vital records, a birth certificate, a death certificate, and records of family members from Italy, among others
- Proof of an Italian spouse (marriage certificate) or naturalization records
- Expert translations and apostilles of Italian documents to confirm their global validity
After gathering all your Italian documents and civil records, it will be time to schedule an appointment with the Italian consulate. This step might take some time, so patience is crucial. With our team of experts, acquiring Italian dual citizenship in Pennsylvania will be a smoother process.
