Italian Citizenship Services
by Descent | Jure Sanguinis
Italian citizenship by descent refers to the acquisition of Italian citizenship based on the principle of jure sanguinis, or right of blood. This means that individuals can claim Italian citizenship if they can prove direct descent from an Italian ancestor who was an Italian citizen.
The court petition route is widely recognized as the quickest and most efficient way to process citizenship applications under jure sanguinis, allowing individuals to reclaim their Italian heritage swiftly. This method enables recipients to enjoy the full benefits of Italian citizenship, including the right to live and work in Italy and other European Union countries.

Meet Marco
As an Italian American pursuing citizenship, I first navigated the consulate process independently two decades ago when demand was lower. Today, the Italian Consulate faces significant strain, resulting in wait times of 5-7 years and complex bureaucratic hurdles.
Fortunately, there's now a more efficient path to obtaining Italian Citizenship, typically under 2 years, requiring significantly less paperwork.
At ICS International, we specialize in a streamlined, stress-free process through the court system, offering quicker results compared to traditional consulate procedures. This efficient route is the preferred choice for those seeking Italian Citizenship.
Whether you're in the US or elsewhere, our services ensure you never have to travel overseas. A personalized consultation allows us to assess your eligibility promptly and initiate your journey towards Italian citizenship.
