A new law addressing the "minor issue" is now being enforced by U.S. Italian consulates and in Italy, leading to rejections for many applications. If you have a pending or upcoming appointment, check your eligibility and explore alternative options like filing a 1948 case. Stay proactive and informed!
We have confirmed new legal interpretations regarding Italian citizenship by descent, which affect administrative applications made through consulates and municipalities. Under the new guidelines, minors born in jus soli countries (like the U.S., Canada, or Australia) who gained foreign citizenship when their parent naturalized can only retain Italian citizenship if they formally elected to do so within one year of reaching adulthood (age 21). This new interpretation applies immediately to administrative cases, but does not impact judicial cases, such as 1948 cases, although some earlier court rulings have led to rejections in similar situations.
