Can I apply for dual citizenship for Italy?

Question

My parents were born in Italy and moved to the US in their 20's and became citizens. I was born in the US. Can I apply for dual citizenships?

Answer 1

Salvatore is right, and the web site he points to is lots of fun.  Also, his hat is cute.

And by the way, in case someone comes along to say that you can't have dual citizenship - yes, you can have dual US and Italian citizenship.  Neither country has a law against it.  Good luck!

Answer 2

Answer 3

yes you may do so , address yourself to the nearest Italian consulat in your area

NOTE :

PLEASE NOTE:

If you are applying for Dual Citizenship, you may be aware that all U.S. documents requiring APOSTILLE must be translated into Italian. We strongly suggest that you contact the Italian Consulate of the State where you reside to learn which documents need APOSTILLE and have to be translated into Italian, and to understand if the Consulate itself provides for the translation as part of their service.

Generally speaking, all birth, marriage and death certificates for all your family members (including your children under the age of 18 because they will acquire dual citizenship along with you) in a direct line between you and your Italian ancestor must bear an APOSTILLE and be translated into Italian. By default, all other documents do not fall into this category.

Once again, we strongly suggest you contact the Italian Consulate of the State where you reside and check with them regarding their specific requirements.

ps:

Italian citizenship is granted by birth through the paternal line (with no limit on the number of generations)

or through the maternal line (for individuals born after January 1, 1948).
