Where do I apply for citizenship?
You must apply for citizenship through the Italian Authority in whose jurisdiction you legally reside for the majority of the

of your residences are your permanent residence and submit proof of that residence at your appointment.

citizenship at the Consulate General of Italy in San Francisco?
NO. This Consulate General in San Francisco can only accept citizenship applications from those who are USA CITIZENS
OR LEGAL PERMANENT RESIDENTS in this consular jurisdiction. Holders of US visas and undocumented immigrants
must apply for citizenship through the Italian Consulate in the country where they are considered legal permanent
residents.
Can I submit my application to another Consulate or Italian Authority if they have an earlier appointment, even if I don’t
have my residence in that jurisdiction?
NO. You must apply through the Consulate/Italian Authority in whose jurisdiction you reside.

3. ELIGIBILITY
When a person claims to be of Italian parentage or ancestry but no proof of the fact can be found in Italian registers, it is necessary
to provide proof that all ancestors have maintained, and thereby passed on, their Italian citizenship. The authority legally valid to
ascertain these facts depends on the person’s place of residence: for foreign residents, the diplomatic-consular mission in the
country of residence; for residents in Italy the Ufficio di Stato Civile of the city of residence.
To determine if you are eligible for Italian citizenship, the Italian Consulate must look at the law that was in effect in Italy at the time
of your birth. Individuals can become citizens under several very different sections of law or can automatically lose the citizenship
through the naturalization of either of the parents.
If you are claiming citizenship through an Italian citizen mother or grandmother, you must also provide information about your father
or grandfather, because Italian citizenship may be affected by the naturalization of their respective spouses.
Who is elibible for Italian citizenship?
Citizenship by descent: descendents of Italian citizens who never renounced their Italian citizenship;
Citizenship by marriage: spouses of Italian citizens whose marriage has been correctly registered in ITALY
If applicant does NOT have minor children with the Italian citizen: must be married to Italian spouse for at least 3
years (36 months)
If applicant DOES HAVE minor children with the Italian citizen: must be married to the Italian spouse for at least 1-
1/2 years (18 months)
How do I determine my eligibility?
DESCENT: You must obtain all naturalization records for your Italian ancestor(s) and prove through those records that
their direct descendents maintained their right to Italian citizenship (aka never renounced Italian citizenship) and, in the
event that their Italian parent was a naturalized citizen, were born before that parent renounced Italian citizenship via
naturalization.
MARRIAGE: see Citizenship by marriage page for all eligibility
requirements: https://conssanfrancisco.esteri.it/consolato_sanfrancisco/en/i_servizi/per_i_cittadini/cittadinanza/citize
nship-by-marriage.html
How many generations back can I pursue citizenship?
FILED: ALBANY COUNTY CLERK 12/19/2023 10:25 AM INDEX NO. 912105-23
NYSCEF DOC. NO. 12 Applicants can apply for citizenship starting with their most recent ancestorRECEIVED
born In Italy after 17 March 1861,
NYSCEF: or with
12/19/2023
their most recent ancestor born BEFORE the formation of Italy who died AFTER 17 March 1861.
Can I apply for Italian citizenship through my mother's side of the family?
Italian citizenship by descent through MATERNAL ascendants was only possible starting 01 January 1948. As such, the
right to citizenship can be passed from a mother to her child AFTER that date.
My father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great grandfather was born in Italy. Can I apply?
You may apply through your paternal ancestor if you can prove that your right to Italian citizenship was maintained, and
that it was not broken (naturalization or renunciation) by your ascendants.
I’m likely not eligible for citizenship. Is there anything else can I do?
There are a few cases in which a descendant of an Italian citizen who lost his/her Italian citizenship after naturalization
might still be eligible, and in such cases the application for citizenship may be submitted IN ITALY after having
established residency there for a specific number of years. Please refer to Italian law 05 February 1992, Art. 9,
Paragraph 1, letter A for details.

4. APPOINTMENTS
Can I bring multiple applicants to my appointment?
NO. Only ONE applicant per appointment slot is permitted. If multiple family members are over 18 years old and wish to
apply for citizenship they must EACH schedule their OWN INDIVIDUAL APPOINTMENT(S) and submit the required
documentation on that day.
Can I reserve an appointment under my name, but have somebody else come to the appointment instead?
NO. Appointments ARE NOT transferrable. The person who comes to the Consulate on the day of the appointment
MUST be the same person whose name is associated with the appointment reservation in PRENOT@MI.

ELIGIBILITY When a person claims to be of Italian parentage or ancestry but no proof of the fact can be found in Italian registers, it is necessary to provide proof that all ancestors have maintained, and thereby passed on, their Italian citizenship. The authority legally valid to ascertain these facts depends on the person’s place of residence: for foreign residents, the diplomatic-consular mission in the country of residence; for residents in Italy the Ufficio di Stato Civile of the city of residence. To determine if you are eligible for Italian citizenship, the Italian Consulate must look at the law that was in effect in Italy at the time of your birth. Individuals can become citizens under several very different sections of law or can automatically lose the citizenship through the naturalization of either of the parents. If you are claiming citizenship through an Italian citizen mother or grandmother, you must also provide information about your father or grandfather, because Italian citizenship may be affected by the naturalization of their respective spouses. Who is elibible for Italian citizenship? Citizenship by descent: descendents of Italian citizens who never renounced their Italian citizenship; Citizenship by marriage: spouses of Italian citizens whose marriage has been correctly registered in ITALY If applicant does NOT have minor children with the Italian citizen: must be married to Italian spouse for at least 3 years (36 months) If applicant DOES HAVE minor children with the Italian citizen: must be married to the Italian spouse for at least 1- 1/2 years (18 months) How do I determine my eligibility? DESCENT: You must obtain all naturalization records for your Italian ancestor(s) and prove through those records that their direct descendents maintained their right to Italian citizenship (aka never renounced Italian citizenship) and, in the event that their Italian parent was a naturalized citizen, were born before that parent renounced Italian citizenship via naturalization. MARRIAGE: see Citizenship by marriage page for all eligibility requirements: https://conssanfrancisco.esteri.it/consolato_sanfrancisco/en/i_servizi/per_i_cittadini/cittadinanza/citize nship-by-marriage.html How many generations back can I pursue citizenship? FILED: ALBANY COUNTY CLERK 12/19/2023 10:25 AM INDEX NO. 912105-23 NYSCEF DOC. NO. 12 Applicants can apply for citizenship starting with their most recent ancestorRECEIVED born In Italy after 17 March 1861, NYSCEF: or with 12/19/2023 their most recent ancestor born BEFORE the formation of Italy who died AFTER 17 March 1861. Can I apply for Italian citizenship through my mother's side of the family? Italian citizenship by descent through MATERNAL ascendants was only possible starting 01 January 1948. As such, the right to citizenship can be passed from a mother to her child AFTER that date. My father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great grandfather was born in Italy. Can I apply? You may apply through your paternal ancestor if you can prove that your right to Italian citizenship was maintained, and that it was not broken (naturalization or renunciation) by your ascendants. I’m likely not eligible for citizenship. Is there anything else can I do? There are a few cases in which a descendant of an Italian citizen who lost his/her Italian citizenship after naturalization might still be eligible, and in such cases the application for citizenship may be submitted IN ITALY after having established residency there for a specific number of years. Please refer to Italian law 05 February 1992, Art. 9, Paragraph 1, letter A for details. CLICK HERE to return to top of page 4. APPOINTMENTS Can I bring multiple applicants to my appointment? NO.
