🇮🇹 How to Move Forward Under Italy’s New Citizenship Laws in 2025

Step 1. Begin with Your Eligibility

If you’ve ever been told that “having Italian blood” automatically makes you eligible for Italian citizenship — think again. While heritage is a beautiful starting point, eligibility depends on very specific legal factors such as:

  • The generational line from your Italian ancestor

  • The gender of each ancestor (due to historical citizenship laws)

  • Whether and when an ancestor naturalized in another country

  • The dates of birth and citizenship transfers across generations

With the new Italian citizenship laws of 2025, it’s more important than ever to confirm eligibility before investing in translations, apostilles, or document procurement.

Start here: Message us for your Ancestry Questionnaire.
Once completed, we’ll connect you with one of our partnered Italian lawyers who will carefully review your lineage and confirm whether you qualify for citizenship under current law.

Step 2. Consult with an Italian Citizenship Lawyer

If you’re eligible, the next step is a private meeting with the Italian lawyer who will guide your case. During this consultation, the lawyer will:

  • Evaluate your ancestral documentation

  • Confirm whether you should apply through a consulate, by establishing residency in Italy, or through the Italian courts

  • Provide a precise list of documents required for your specific citizenship application

This expert review ensures your case follows the most efficient, legally sound route to recognition — saving you years of frustration.

Step 3. Legalize That Doc Handles the Document Journey

Once your pathway is set, our team at Legalize That Doc Inc. takes over the entire document process.

We specialize in obtaining and apostilling documents from Canada and the United States, including:

  • Long-form birth, marriage, and death certificates

  • Certified translations into Italian

  • Apostilles or authentications (federal and provincial)

  • Certified true copies and notarizations for court submissions

Our concierge-style service ensures your documents meet Italy’s strict legal requirements the first time — helping you move forward confidently and without delay.

🗂️ We handle every detail so you can focus on your upcoming move to Italy.

Step 4. Your Lawyer Applies in Italy

Once all your documents are properly prepared, our Italian lawyer will file your application directly in Italy — whether through a local comune or the court system.

You will need to be physically present in Italy during this stage to establish temporary residency and sign your final forms. Don’t worry — our team will coordinate the timeline, paperwork, and on-the-ground logistics with the lawyer to make the process smooth and predictable.

🌍 Your Italian citizenship becomes more than a dream — it becomes your new reality.
