1948 case

We prepare the documents.

If citizenship passes through a woman who had children before 1948, you need an Italian court case. We prepare the file.

Who this is for

Before January 1, 1948, Italian law didn’t allow women to transmit citizenship. If your chain includes a woman who had children before that date, the consulate cannot process your application.
