Italian citizenship

Since 2004 DPD has provided legal and bureaucratic assistance for clients wishing to obtain recognition of their Italian citizenship.

Our firm regularly conducts the following applications:
– the recognition of citizenship jure sanguinis with administrative procedure
– judicial recognition of citizenship with maternal and paternal descent
– judicial recognition for lack of documents
– judicial recognition for delay in the response of the competent Consulate
– naturalization by marriage
– as well as recognition of the degree, reconstruction of documents, etc.

Below are all the descriptions of the structure of the judicial process of recognition of Italian citizenship.

The documents required for the recognition request are:

– birth certificates (starting from the Italian one which is the main document of the process);
– marriage certificates;
– death certificates;
– Certificate of naturalization (negative / positive) with all the variants of the Italian name contained in the Brazilian documents (only for Italian).

Only the documents of the main branch interest us (the collateral documents must not be produced – husbands and wives).

ALL DOCUMENTS MUST BE INTEGRATED, TRANSLATED AND APOSTILLED (LEGALIZATION).

Up to 12 applicants of the same branch of the family can apply in a single application.
In court proceedings, it will be necessary to present the request made by the Consulate, even if recent (A / R with receipt).
The average time to complete the process is two years.

DPD will take care of legal and bureaucratic assistance in administrative and judicial proceedings. We will accompany clients throughout the Italian phases of the process and indicate the best partners for the preliminary stages of the process. DPD boasts professional collaborations with serious partners that offer additional legal services, offering customers the best legal assistance with the utmost competence.
