One of the questions I get asked so often is: How to Obtain Italian citizenship.
When a child’s parents are Italian citizens, in cases of adoption, a child is born on Italian soil, on the condition that the child’s parents, are unknown or Stateless, or are foreigners who, pursuant to their country’s legislation, do not pass on their own citizenship to their child, in cases in which a child has been found abandoned on Italian soil.
Need birth records, marriage records or other family records from Italy?
Who can apply for Italian citizenship? Descendents of Italian citizens (up to the second degree), dependent employees of the Italian government, even abroad, residents in Italy for at least 2 years before reaching the legal age of 18, if born on Italian soil and residing legally and without interruption from birth until the legal age of 18, if residing on Italy after 2 years of marriage to an Italian citizen, if residing abroad, after 3 years of marriage to an Italian citizen, anyone who has served in the Italian Armed Forces.

Where do I have to go to have citizenship recognised and what documentation is required?
Application for recognition of Italian citizenship must be made to the Italian consular office authorised for the place where you live,
In any case, it will be necessary to prove that your ancestor was in possession of Italian citizenship at the time he/she left Italy and maintained it, thereby passing it on to descendents; the birth certificate of that ancestor, which can be requested from the Office of Civil Statistics of the city of birth and a document that specifies citizenship (old passport, certificate of historic citizenship, etc.). It will also be necessary, by going back through the generations and through all available records of civil status, to demonstrate the blood relationship between the ancestor and the applicant for citizenship.
Can the consulate help me find the documentation I need?
The consulate can help you to ascertain what documentation needs to be submitted in your specific case, but cannot lend itself to tracing those documents for you as a result of the extremely high number of applications submitted on a daily basis and the fact that you are not legally considered an Italian citizen until the recognition procedure has been completed.
The process of recognition of Italian citizenship is a substantially simple process that can become complicated when, for example, over the generations, there have been name changes or other events that make it more difficult to demonstrate the blood ties between applicants and their ancestors or else when these latter have lived in various countries. Another cause that influences the timeframe is the very high number of applications submitted over recent years, which have placed a heavy load on the Italian diplomatic network abroad.
I provide Official Italian family records of your ancestors directly from the Registrar of Vital Statistics (Ufficio della Stato civile) in the City Office (Municipio o Comune)

Italian citizenship is based on “ius sanguinis”, according to which a child born to an Italian mother or father is Italian; the issue of citizenship is governed by law no. 91 of 5th February 1992.
Italian citizenship is based on the principles:
a) Citizenship can be transmitted by descent “iure sanguinis” (right of blood)
b) Acquisition “iure soli” in given cases (by birth on the territory)
Dual citizenship is recognised
Explicit statement of will is necessary to acquire or loose citizenship.
