Immigration Law And Recognition Of Italian Citizenship Iure Sanguinis

We provide assistance, advice and advocacy in legal proceedings on immigration matters with specific focus on the recognition of Italian citizenship iure sanguinis, a principle according to which the child of citizen parents is an Italian citizen by birth.

In application of the principle of ius sanguinis, the descendant of an Italian emigrant, who has not obtained foreign citizenship, may in turn claim Italian citizenship jure sanguinis. Hence the concrete possibility that second, third and fourth generation descendants, and beyond, of Italian emigrants may be declared Italian citizens by filiation.

The firm takes care of obtaining the necessary documentation through a network of consultants present in the main states affected by the migration phenomenon, filing the judicial appeal before the competent Italian Court, both in the case of descendants in the maternal line prior to 1948 and appeals against delays by the Consulate, and requesting the subsequent transcription at the Italian municipalities concerned of the order of acceptance issued by the Judge.
