What is the so-called “Jure Sanguinis Italy”? 

How long does Jure Sanguinis take? 

We will share our knowledge of the Jure Sanguinis procedures with you, explaining how the Jure Sanguinis works and how we can give you qualified assistance on your Italian citizenship application for the Jure Sanguinis.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN “ITALIAN CITIZENSHIP JURE SANGUINIS”?

What is the “Jure Sanguinis principle”? 

According to the generic definition, the Jure Sanguinis is a principle of nationality law by which citizenship is determined or acquired by the nationality or ethnicity of one or both parents.

The Jure Sanguinis principle was set by the Italian Citizenship Law starting from Civil Code in 1856, then implemented in 1912, and finally by the Italian Law 91/1992. 

So, if You have Italian ancestors in Your family’s bloodline (i.e., Your grandparents or great-grandparents, or a single great-grandfather or grandfather or grandmother, were born in Italy), you may be eligible to claim Italian Citizenship by Descent under the Jus Sanguinis Italy principle.

And do not be confused by different terms. You can find them online: you may often find definitions like “Jus Sanguinis Italy” or “Jure Sanguinis Italy.” This is the same process.

Of course, it’s not as easy as it seems: it’s essential to have an uninterrupted bloodline and check all Vital Records certificates to prove that.

Indeed, some of the mandatory documents and certificates You will need are Birth Certificates (of Your grandparents, great-grandparents, or any other Italian ancestor You have), Certificates of Naturalization Records or No Records, Marriage Certificates, and so on.

WHAT IS THE JURE SANGUINIS ITALY RULE?

 When we talk about applying for Jure Sanguinis Italy, we have to focus on your options for getting Italian Citizenship by Descent. 

The rules are not so so different than the process of how to get Italian Citizenship by Descent,as (generally) we refer to the same application process.

 So, You can apply for Jus Sanguinis Italy following the exact requirements for Italian Citizenship through the Ancestry program: you will always need all vital records for each person in the bloodline, starting from the Italian Ancestors (grandparents, great-grandparents, and so on), until You as the principal applicant. 

Do You have children?

That’s not a problem, of course, and however, you will have to collect their birth certificates.

Proving your Italian ancestry involves a lot of detective work. You would need access to Italian and American records to determine whether or not the jure sanguinis principle would apply to your case.

Our firm has the resources to examine your situation. We have contacts across Italy and the U.S. to help gather all your legal documents, effectively finding your link between both territories.

Once we collect your records, we can attend to the authentication process, establishing your connection to Italy. As we connect the dots, we ensure that you remain informed throughout every step of the process.

We take our assistance beyond simply organizing and managing documents. We want to help you understand the exciting prospects of obtaining dual Italian-American citizenship.

WHERE TO APPLY FOR ITALIAN CITIZENSHIP JURE SANGUINIS?

The general rule states that You have to fill your Italian Citizenship by Descent application at the local Italian Consulate. 

This may be true, but it’s not mandatory in 2 different situations. 

The first one is when Your Italian Citizenship by Descent case falls under the special case so-called “Italian Citizenship 1948 case“, so when you find a woman in Your Italian family bloodline. 

Only the Italian Court must process the 1948 Italian Citizenship cases only through the Italian Court.

The second one is You have not a 1948 Italian Citizenship case, but you’re facing relevant issues with the same Italian Consulate. 

What type of issues?

We refer to the most ordinary circumstances, like long wait times for just an appointment, or if you cannot book appointments at the Italian Consulate for several reasons, not depending on Yourself. 

So what to do in this last case? How the Italian Court has relevance?
