Who Can Apply?
Practically anyone who is a descendant of Italians, without generational limits, can apply for Italian citizenship. Additionally, those who have married an Italian citizen or have resided in Italy for at least 10 years can also apply. Currently, the difficulty lies in obtaining appointments due to high demand and low availability at the consulate, which is why the judicial route is the most effective alternative for submitting your application, bypassing the consulate and submitting directly in Italy
Considerations
The file must at least include the following documents to obtain Italian citizenship
Information about your ancestor
It is essential to trace who the AVO (ancestor) is. It can be your father, grandfather, great-grandfather, etc.
National certificates
You must request the remaining certificates of all the ancestors in the line of descent.
Having all their certificates
It is crucial to present all the documents of the Italian person. These, depending on the case, must be requested from the European country.
Verifications
Each document must undergo a legalization and sealing process.
Non-Naturalization Certificate
This certificate will indicate if your AVO ever renounced being Italian, as this could be an impediment.
Translation of certificates
All Argentine documents must be translated into Italian.
If you want to apply for citizenship by marriage, the procedure is different. Additionally, one of the requirements is to know the language at a certain level. You must present a certification of this knowledge and documentation verifying your union with the Italian person.
Once you have all the necessary documents ready for submission, you just need to get your appointment and take your entire file to the corresponding Consulate according to your residence or do it in Italy
