Law 74/2025 — what changed
Effective March 28, 2025. Limits automatic recognition to the second generation (children of Italian parents). Third generation and beyond now requires a judicial procedure in Italy, no longer the consular route.
Still valid via consular route:
Direct children of Italian citizens (1st gen) and grandchildren (2nd gen)
Requires judicial procedure:
Great-grandchildren and beyond (3rd+ gen) — must file in Italian court
The process
Reconstruct the lineage
Birth, marriage and death certificates for every ancestor in the direct line from the Italian emigrant to you.
Obtain US documents
Vital records from the state where each event occurred. Every state has different procedures.
Apostille
Every US document needs an apostille from the Secretary of State of the relevant state.
Certified translations
All US documents must be translated into Italian with a certification of accuracy.
Italian documents
Birth certificate of the Italian ancestor from the original comune. Certificate of non-renunciation of citizenship.

We do not provide legal advice on citizenship eligibility. We do not handle judicial proceedings in Italy. For complex cases (Law 74/2025 3rd+ gen), we recommend a specialised Italian attorney.
