We begin with this week's discussion of Italian citizenship. Each week we will examine a case to clarify the topic better.. 

This information originally appeared on...

In particular, Italian citizenship is obtained based on the following:
 
  • Automatic granting (i.e. birth, adoption, recognition or judicial statement of descent, etc.);
  • Privileges and obligations granted by the law (descent, birth and continued residence, etc.);
  • Naturalisation.
 The acquisition of Italian citizenship is not prejudicial for maintaining the country of origin's citizenship unless the laws in force in such a country prohibit dual nationality.

CASES WHEN ITALIAN DUAL CITIZENSHIP IS AUTOMATICALLY ACQUIRED

The acquisition of citizenship occurs automatically in the following cases:

 BY BIRTH (IUS SANGUINIS):

the sons of mothers or fathers owning Italian citizenship (including the sons born abroad from Italian citizens) are considered Italian nationals.

 The acquisition of citizenship by birth in the Italian territory from non-Italian nationals is envisaged in two cases only:
  • if both parents are either unknown or stateless;
  • if the son does not have the same citizenship as his/her parents according to the law of the State of which they are nationals.
 Finally, the son of unknown parents found in the Italian territory, if not owning any other citizenship, is considered as Italian national;

BY RECOGNITION OR JUDICIAL STATEMENT OF DESCENT: 

if the son of Italian citizens, recognised subsequently to his/her birth, is a minor, the acquisition of citizenship is automatic retroacts to the moment of conception. If, conversely, the recognition or the judicial statement occurs with an adult son, he/she maintains one's nationality. Still, he/she is allowed (within one year as from the recognition, the judicial statement or the acknowledgement of efficacy of the foreign measure) to chose the Italian citizenship.

 
BY ADOPTION: 

any foreign minor adopted by Italian nationals acquires citizenship by right; if, conversely, the child adopted is an adult, the acquisition of the Italian citizenship is possible only upon application by the interested party five years of legal residence in Italy.


 BY ACQUISITION OR REACQUISITION ON ONE OF THE PARENTS' SIDE: 

minor children of parents who acquire or reacquire the Italian citizenship directly receive it provided that they steadily and effectively live with them.
