Our Process

Our 7-Step Citizenship Process

Exactly what happens after you sign up โ€” no surprises, no black boxes, just clear milestones from start to finish.

1

Signup & Welcome Call

We review your public records, confirm eligibility, and map your Italian lineage back to the ancestor who emigrated.

2

Family Profile & Ancestry Citizenship Tree

We build your complete Ancestry Citizenship Tree โ€” the legal backbone of your case showing unbroken Italian citizenship through each generation.

3

Document Inventory

We determine which vital records exist, which are missing, and create a retrieval plan for birth, marriage, death, and naturalization certificates.

4

Retrieval & Preparation

We retrieve records from Italian comuni, US vital statistics offices, USCIS, and NARA. Every document is reviewed, corrected if needed, and apostilled.

5

Legal Review & Strategy

Our Italian attorneys review your complete packet, flag any issues, and determine the optimal filing strategy for your specific case.

6

Filing in Italy

We file your case โ€” whether at a consulate, Italian court, or comune โ€” and manage all correspondence and hearing attendance on your behalf.

7

Recognition & Registration

Once recognized, we guide you through comune registration, obtaining your Italian birth certificate, and applying for your passport.

Client Stories

What Our Clients Say

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The Administrative path goes through your local Italian consulate. The Judicial/1948 path files directly with an Italian court โ€” ideal for maternal line cases or bypassing long consular wait times. The Residency path requires living in Italy temporarily and applying through the local comune.
Administrative: 2-5 years depending on consulate backlog. Judicial/1948: 12-24 months. Residency: 3-6 months once you're in Italy, but requires relocation. We'll recommend the best path during your free consultation.
No. The 7-month timeline is our commitment to getting your case filing-ready. The subsequent court or consulate processing time depends on the Italian government. We focus on the part of the journey we can control โ€” the grueling document search and preparation phase.
Yes. Our $3,000 preparation fee covers you and all your direct descendants. Legal filing fees apply per person at the court stage, but GlobalCitizens does not add any extra service charges for additional family members.
Communication is the #1 complaint in mobility services. We set a 72-hour response Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for all client emails to ensure your project never loses momentum.
No. Italy fully allows dual citizenship, and the US does not revoke citizenship for acquiring another nationality. You keep both passports.
