Italian-American Dual Citizenship Assistance

Jure Sanguinis (Italian Citizenship by Descent)

 

Pursuing Italian-American dual citizenship is both a legal process and a life-changing opportunity. It connects you to your heritage, expands your global mobility, and provides access to the rights and protections of Italy, the European Union, and the United States.

​

Biazzo Law PLLC offers comprehensive Italian dual citizenship (jure sanguinis) assistance, led by a U.S.-licensed attorney who is both a U.S. and Italian citizen, with operational and cultural support from Marco Carbone, our Chief Operating Officer, an Italian native and dual U.S.–Italian citizen with strong ties to the Italian community in the Carolinas and abroad.

​

Italian Citizenship by Descent (Jure Sanguinis)

 

Italian citizenship by descent—jure sanguinis—allows eligible individuals to obtain Italian citizenship through their bloodline.

 

Eligibility depends on factors such as:

​

·       Whether and when an Italian ancestor naturalized

·       Proper transmission of citizenship through each generation

·       Accurate and consistent U.S. and Italian vital records

·       Compliance with Italian procedural and documentation requirements

 

Because Italian authorities require precise documentary proof, success often turns on how well records are located, prepared, apostilled, and presented.

​

Firsthand Experience Navigating the Jure Sanguinis Process

 

This service is grounded in direct personal experience, not theory.

​

As a U.S.-licensed attorney, I personally obtained all U.S. and Italian documentation for my own jure sanguinis court case, including:

​

·       U.S. birth, marriage, and death records

·       Naturalization and non-naturalization records

·       Apostilles issued by U.S. authorities

·       Supporting genealogical documentation

 

I personally communicated with my local comune in Italy, navigating the process directly using mid-level, B1-adjacent Italian, and handling real-world Italian bureaucracy firsthand.

​

After assembling a complete, apostilled document package in the United States, I retained an Italian-licensed law firm in Italy to bring my case through the Italian court system for judicial recognition of my citizenship.

​

That end-to-end experience—U.S. records, apostilles, Italian coordination, and court-based recognition—now informs how we guide clients through this process with precision and realism.

​

Attorney-Level U.S. Documentation and Apostille Services

 

As U.S.-licensed attorneys, we offer attorney-level handling of the U.S. side of the jure sanguinis process, including:

​

U.S. Vital Records Collection

 

We can collect and organize required documentation, including:

​

·       Birth certificates

·       Marriage certificates

·       Death certificates

·       Naturalization records

·       Certificates of Non-Existence of Naturalization (CONE)

·       Other supporting records required by Italian authorities

Apostilles

 

We manage the apostille process for U.S. documents, ensuring compliance with international requirements for use in Italy.

As U.S. attorneys, we are familiar with U.S. legal bureaucracy, agencies, and record systems, and from personal experience, we know how to navigate delays, inconsistencies, and procedural hurdles efficiently.

​

Two Strategic Paths: Italian Court or Italian Consulate

 

Once your documents are collected and apostilled, you have flexibility.

​

1. Italian Court (Litigation) Path

 

If litigation in Italy is the best option for your case, we can:

​

·       Prepare and organize your complete document package

·       Connect you with appropriately licensed Italian attorneys in Italy

·       Coordinate with Italian counsel to transfer documents for court filing

·       Support the process from the U.S. side

 

This option is often preferred when consular wait times are excessive or when court recognition is strategically advantageous.

​

2. Italian Consulate Application

 

Alternatively, you may:

​

·       Use the documents we obtain to apply through the appropriate Italian consulate, either

o   On your own, or

o   With the assistance of an Italian-licensed attorney or professional of your choosing

 

We ensure your documentation is prepared so you can confidently proceed down either path.

​

Certified Translations and Italian Legal Referrals

 

We can assist with:

​

·       Connecting you to certified Italian translation services

·       Referring you to Italian-licensed attorneys for matters involving Italian law

·       Helping you identify and retain Italian counsel when litigation or legal advice in Italy is required

 

Our role is to ensure you are supported by qualified professionals at every stage.

​

The Privilege and Power of Dual U.S.–Italian (EU) Citizenship

 

Becoming a dual citizen is exhilarating. It is a privilege to enjoy the rights and protections of:

​

·       The United States

·       Italy

·       The European Union (EU)

 

Italian citizenship provides freedom of movement, residence, and employment across the EU, access to education and healthcare systems, and a lasting connection to your family’s history.

​

In uncertain political and economic times, having options matters. Dual citizenship provides flexibility, security, and opportunity—for you and future generations.
