Italian Citizenship by Descent (Jure Sanguinis) Consulate Appointments

[@HoosierInUtah]

Excellent video. Very interesting and informative 😃 Grazie

[@jenniferlindorff9710]

Thank you for answering one of my questions at 27mins! I’ve been searching everywhere for this exact information. I have my great grandfathers naturalization certificate that my mom also needs to use for her application. This was a great video. Thanks guys!

[@mmhnto1]

Thanks. As always this was very helpful. Looking forward to working with ICA in the future.

[@seeingyouontube]

I did it in 2011!

I have applied for a jure sanguinis citizenship appointment at the Los Angeles consulate. I am British, working and living in LA. My father is Italian. Do I need to fill out a form? I cannot see any on the consulate website. Do I just bring a copy of my father’s birth certificate and passport?

[@Valentina.m.h]

What if you can’t get an appointment?? Like it’s impossible to book

[@colleencarone8650]

My husband and I appreciate your videos. My husband is seeking citizenship recognition, jure sanguinis. We're wondering whether applying in Italy would work for us versus applying in the US. We intend to retire in Italy. Would you explain how we could travel to Italy and obtain the permanent residence (permiso di soggiorno?), so we can apply for citizenship in Italy, and stay there without having to return to the US within 90 days, versus applying in Italy and returning to US (and registering AIRE)?

They explain this in another video i believe :)

[@RachelDavis705]

This is discussed in another one other videos in depth.

I have a question about the '1912 question' : if my ancestor became a US citizen by birth (jus soli) and was born before 1912 (born in 1905) did he lose his Italian citizenship upon being born as an American citizen? or was he born with dual citizenship? Thank you for all your videos! :)

[@nursebay]

Does this actually work? My great grand parents came to the US from Italy they came to the US in 1902. Does this actually work? Can I actually get a citizenship?

[@dinosilone7613]

My case should be simple (in theory). My father was born in Italy and was naturalized in the USA a year after I was born. But his name on his naturalization and death certificates is an (obvious) translation of his birth name into English. I've heard this can be a problem. Also, his parents’ names on his death certificate are the English translations of their Italian names. Is that a problem, and if so, how does one go about fixing that?

[@RachelDavis705]

My mom's birth certificate mispells my grandma's name. I had my mom order a records correction from the Dept. of Health in Michigan for me. But as far as Americanized names, depends on the consulate - some are more strict than others. My grandfather's name was changed from Francesco to Frank when he naturalized, so in his case the name change was documented.

[@BlueSuedeShoesDance]

Once citizenship is granted how does one obtain an Italian passport if no proof of citizenship is given?

[@biff529]

Citizenship is not granted, but recognized, because the person has been an Italian citizen since birth. To answer your question, once recognized, your ancestral comune will record your birth, and enter you in A.I.R.E (Anagrafe degli Italiani Residenti all'Estero, registration of Italian citizens living abroad). Once in AIRE, you set up an appointment at your Italian Consulate for a passport. Depending on the Consulate, you may walk out with the passport, or it may be mailed to you.

[@RachelDavis705]

You are registered with AIRE when you become a citizen. Then you apply for your passport.

[@Joeturkey30]

Hello, Marco mentioned something to the effect that we need a notarized document from descendants that are alive and if they are not applying themselves. This is the first that I'm hearing of this. Where would this document be available? Would it need to be translated and apostled?

[@ItalianCitizenshipAssistance]

Hello! It’s called form 3. You will find it on the website of the Italian consulate in your area

[@zahrarehman6943]

Kindly reply me plzzz that how much time we have to wait after applying for italian passport and do children above 18 can get italian passport if the father get italian passport in the basis of residency

[@bowiefb]

Thank you as always! Question: as a Canadian recently based in Spain w (now finally) all my necesary paperwork, could I get an appt. in the communal of Rivigo with you (italiancitizenship.com) and go there to get my Jure Sanguinis without having a residence there (but in Spain) or must I apply through the consulate here, even though I am a Canadian?

[@charlesscicolone6337]

I contacted a lawyer in Italy to help me to get Italian Citizenship. He said It would cost me about $1,500 and take 4 months after the application for citizenship. Would it be easier to do it in the US

[@RachelDavis705]

Why don't you just do it yourself? You don't have to pay a lawyer $1500, you can just gather the necessary paperwork yourself and do it yourself. Would it be easier to do it in the US? Not really - because of COVID, consulate appointments are booking years out. So it would be faster in Italy.

[@nursebay]

@@RachelDavis705 how hard is this really? Did you do it?

[@RachelDavis705]

@@nursebay I'm in the process right now. Not that hard, but I know exactly where all the documents I need are

[@nursebay]

@@RachelDavis705 now I read somewhere at some point any italian citizen that migrated out of the country automatically renounced their citizenship, is that true?

[@RachelDavis705]

​@@nursebay I think that may be true at certain dates, but generally no that's not true. You'd have to check your own specifics though

[@mr.dsproductreviewchannel]

When Applying for Recognition with a 1948 Case, is there a Consulate Appointment that We would have to attend in Our Home Country? If so, is there Any Difference between a Jure Sanguinis and a 1948 Jure Sanguinis for Us other than the 1948 being a Court Case?

[@biff529]

Just be sure that there are no other possible paths to recognition. 1948 court cases are not allowed if there are other paths available. You will need to seek the services of an Italian lawyer, since the court case will take place in an Italian court.

[@mr.dsproductreviewchannel]

@@biff529 I'm fully aware of that.

[@mr.dsproductreviewchannel]

@@biff529 2 things. 1. Read the Question and pay attention to the Details of the Question. 2. The Question was Not directed to You, but to Marco who is an Attorney. Also Whom I Will be using for My 1948 Case which was determined that was the Only Path that I can use.

[@biff529]

Thanks for your pleasant and appreciative comments. KZbin needs more folks like you. Have a G’day.

[@nickpapageorgio926]

@@mr.dsproductreviewchannel Why would there be a consulate appointment when you are suing in Italian court and asking the court to recognize your citizenship?

[@Zach-zj9sy]

Hi, I was just wondering if both the original document and the translation both need to be apostilled or only one of them

[@nursebay]

where do you find a apostille?

[@josephsgroi4474]

Doesn’t the Italian passport confirm citizenship?

[@somaghost]

Can you use consulates in other countries for this? Say there's a much closer consulate in Canada than in the US but you live in the US?

[@RachelDavis705]

Of course not. You're not a Canadian citizen - why would the Canadian government assist you?

[@somaghost]

@@RachelDavis705 I don't know how consulates work . . . Obviously. I wasn't sure how independently they ran from the country the reside in.

[@JamesSmith-qv9qo]

You have to use the consulate that serves your address. They are quite strict about, and will make you show a driver license to verify your residence.

[@francinemoloney2527]

Is there a consulate in Florida. Or Orlando.

[@paulmontello6074]

Miami

[@donnacoelho3543]

Yes I was going to say Miami.

Rafael... As always very informative!!!!! I have a question. I am going through my great grandfather. Some information states I need my great grandmother's birth certificate. And some say I don't. Only through the ancestor you are using. Is that true?. Because my family is saying that my great grandmother was born on the ship. I can only locate her baptism. Nothing of a birth certificate. If you have any information would be great.....😊

[@francinemoloney2527]

Thank you so much. I thought i might have to go to NYC.
