Info on Italian Citizenship via Marriage

(LAST EDITED/UPDATED: 10 March 2010)

Here are some links on Italian Citizenship via Marriage:

CITIZENSHIP VIA MARRIAGE
INFORMATION FROM THE EMBASSY OF ITALY OR FROM ONE OF THE CONSULATE GENERAL OFFICES IN THE USA – IN ENGLISH, ITALIAN. THE FORM (RE: MARRIAGE) TO BE FILLED OUT AND SUBMITTED WITH ANY OTHER ASSOCIATED PAPERWORK IS LISTED BELOW ON THE EMBASSY OR RESPECTIVE ITALIAN CONSULATE GENERAL OFFICE OF ITALY ENTRY LISTED BELOW:
NOTE: For those individuals living in the USA, US Territories and specific offshore and Caribbean islands, it is important to note that to apply for Italian citizenship through marriage, you need to submit the necessary paperwork to the appropriate Consular Services office to either the Embassy or Consulate General of Italy depending on where you live.

For your specific interest, please search the web for further information using Google .

The above links as of this date are/were current. If anyone has any suggestions for any other additional web sites and/or links for reference, please feel free to post your comment and I'll update this blog entry.

Please note: If you want me to reply to your comment or request any further information by email, please include your email address in a separate comment. I will NOT publish any comments with an email address in it.

NOTE: If you want to leave a comment, please leave it in ENGLISH.

Broken links: Since November, 2005, I have written over 300+ blog entries with 1,000's of corresponding links/URLs for Moving2Italy2, covering a varied and wide range of topics. In the event if you come across a broken link or a non-functioning link/URL, please post a comment and report the non-functional link. I wish to thank you in advance for assisting me in the ongoing maintenance and the updating of this successful and informative blog.

This is an important blog entry for me personally. In the coming months, I'll be updating this entry because I will be going through this procedure. I am married to an Italian-American who on February 9th, 2007 is now an Italian citizen via Jure Sanguinis. Martha, my wife, will be writing about her experiences in a forthcoming blog entry.

Since we live outside of Italy and have been married for over 3 years, the process can take up to 3+ years for me to receive Italian Citizenship via Marriage and there are steps to follow and paperwork to be assembled and submitted. If we lived in Italy, it may take 6 months.

I listed the Embassy and each Consulate General of Italy office separately with a link to the form (marriage) to be submitted because each office operates independently of each other in the USA. For some people, this process can be incredibly frustrating and S L O W. However, one must be patient.

That's it for Tuesday, 27 February 2007: martedì, 27 febbraio 2007.

The above links are current. If anyone has any suggestions for other sites, please feel free to post your comment and I'll update this blog entry. For your specific interest, please search the web for further information using Google .

Please note: I do NOT represent or endorse any of these links nor do I receive payment for listing them in my blog.

The reason that I list these links is to provide information for individuals who are dreaming, considering a move or traveling to Italy. It is my intent to share these links (web sites) with like-minded individuals who are in the process of considering, have made the decision to move or travel to Italy for whatever reason. I have attempted to group these links and to categorize them.

These blog postings and entries are not static. As I come across new information, I'll update the appropriate blog entry periodically

I have found in my research on the Internet that by changing the wording of the search argument or the order of the wording of the search argument on a search engine, e.g., Google, you may get different results. There is so much information to choose from on the internet. Unfortunately, there's a lot of junk that clutters up one's search. I believe in my presentation format that it eliminates the need for one to do multiple searches. Also, I believe this information is a baseline or starting point for an individual to conduct their own search and they do not have to reinvent the wheel or start from scratch.

For my blog, I am presenting the fruits of my efforts of just a portion of that information in a format that is of use to my wife and myself for future use and reference (and hopefully, other individuals) as we prepare for our move to Italy. I am open to suggestions and solicit comments from the readers of this blog for your feedback.

That's it for Thursday, 1 February 2007: giovedì, 1 febbraio 2007.
