application is complete before mailing it. Incomplete applications will NOT be accepted and
the applicant will have to schedule a new appointment and pay the fee again.
· Applications must be sent the day of the scheduled appointment and the postmark date must be
clearly visible on the envelope.
· The Citizenship office will send payment receipt to your email address.
The Citizenship office may request additional documentation in order to determine your eligibility.
Applications must include full documentation as listed below, starting with the last relative born in Italy
and ending with the applicant and any underage children.
Vital records documents:
Documents must be submitted starting from the last relative born in Italy and end with the applicant’s.
● Applicants are exempted from submitting original relatives’ documents (ancestor and ascendants)
only if the documents were already submitted by a family member at Consulate General of Italy in
New York. In this case, the applicant will have to provide photocopies of the relatives’ documents,
starting from the Italian-born ancestor, already submitted in original by a family member at
Consulate General of Italy in New York (it is not necessary to add the copy of the Apostille or the
translations).
● When a birth took place outside the marriage, the birth certificate must be submitted along with a
certified copy of the Acknowledgement of paternity, legalized with Apostille and accompanied by
its translation into Italian.
● In-line relatives’ US vital records documents must be submitted in certified originals in long form,
legalized with the Apostille and accompanied by their translation into Italian. Long form

In order to be able to pass on the Italian citizenship, the Italian-born ancestor must have been an
Italian citizen at the time of birth of their child. Italian citizenship was exclusive until August 16, 1992;
the acquisition of any other citizenship prior to that date means the automatic loss of the Italian citizenship.
If the Italian-born’s naturalization/non-naturalization took place in another Country (other than United
States), please visit the website of the competent Italian Representative (Embassy or Consulate) in said
Country in order to receive information on how to obtain proof of naturalization/non-naturalization.
