The Italian Link helps individuals and families explore and apply for Italian citizenship through ancestry (jure sanguinis), marriage, and other eligible pathways. We support you with eligibility review, document guidance, application preparation, and step-by-step assistance through the process.

You may qualify if you have an Italian ancestor (parent, grandparent, great-grandparent, etc.) and your citizenship line wasn’t broken by certain factors like naturalization at the wrong time. The best way to know is through a professional eligibility check using your family history details.

Usually, we’ll ask for:

The name and birth location of your Italian ancestor

Approximate dates (birth, marriage, immigration)

Where they moved to

Whether and when they became a citizen of another country (naturalization)

Even if you don’t know everything yet, we can still help you piece it together.

Most cases require vital records such as:

Birth certificates

Marriage certificates

Death certificates (if applicable)

Naturalization records (or proof of no naturalization)

Official translations and apostilles (depending on the country)

The exact list depends on your unique family line.

Timelines vary widely depending on your case type, document availability, and consulate/municipality processing times. Most applicants should expect the process to take months to a few years, but The Italian Link helps reduce delays by ensuring documents are prepared correctly the first time.

Yes. Many people run into issues like misspellings, date differences, missing middle names, or inconsistent last names across records. The Italian Link can guide you through correction options, including amendments or supporting documentation needed to strengthen your case.

For citizenship by descent, Italian fluency is usually not required.

For citizenship by marriage, there may be language requirements depending on your situation. We’ll confirm what applies to your pathway and help you understand what’s needed.

In many cases, yes. Minor children often qualify through a parent, and spouses may qualify through marriage (with specific requirements). We’ll explain your options and how to structure your application to include eligible family members.
