A Italian citizenship it is a right for people who meet the prerequisites of becoming Italian citizens. When you recognize yourself, you are automatically considered a European citizen by the European Union.

There are two ways to obtain a passport, either through the courts or through naturalization.

Italian citizenship via court

If you have an ancestor born in Italy, you have the right to Italian citizenship via court or “jus sanguinis” as it is also known. This is the process that proves descent through blood.

To do this, you will need to obtain the documents (birth and marriage certificates) of your ancestor born in Italy and those of descendants up to you.

After this, Dimensione Cidadania, a pioneer in the subject, checks the documentation, translates and apostilles all of them, files the process with the competent court, executes the sentence, registers those recognized in the ancestor’s commune and registers the same in the AIRE (register of Italians living abroad).

In total, this process takes up to two years to complete.

Citizenship by marriage

In turn, Italian citizenship by marriage is the process dedicated to Brazilian spouses of Italian citizens. In this case, it is possible to file an application following three years of marriage if the couple lives abroad, two years if they live in Italy, 18 months if they have children and live abroad or 12 months if they have children and live in Italy.

However, it is worth mentioning three important factors regarding this procedure. The first is that, in addition to personal documents, the applicant must present certification higher than level B1 of the Common Framework of Reference for knowledge of languages.

In addition, you must pay a fee through the Italian Ministry of the Interior Portal, totaling €266.50. Finally, take the oath of loyalty to the Italian Republic and the obligation to observe “the Constitution and the laws of the State”.

So, if you are eligible, contact Dimensione Cidadania. The company will be responsible for helping you prepare the documentation, submit the request on the Ministry Portal, monitor the next phase, deliver the documents in person to the consulate and, finally, take the oath.

Therefore, if you fit into any of the cases, don’t waste any more time and become a recognized Italian citizen.
