Take your citizenship by descent in Milano
The competence to carry out the recognition of Italian citizenship iure sanguinis (that means by descent) is in charge of the Mayor of the Municipality where the person concerned has established his residence.
The assessment is made on a case by case basis.
That said, it is still necessary to make an appointment in person for a preliminary examination of the documents available.
You can put together all the documentation in your possession and make an appointment on the Comune di Milano website to examine the situation together with aspecialized city registry employee who will indicate if the documentation is sufficient or what further papers to obtain and add to the file.
For further details, see the page on citizenship on the Comune di Milano website
For the purposes of recognizing Italian citizenship iure sanguinis, it is necessary that the descendants of the Italian ancestor, including the applicant, have never lost their Italian citizenship.
Possession of Italian citizenship can be demonstrated by:
- extract from the birth certificate of the Italian ancestor who emigrated abroad issued by the Italian municipality of birth.
- birth certificates, all translated and legalized, of all his descendants in a straight line, including that of the applicant
- marriage certificate of the Italian ancestor who emigrated abroad, translated and legalized if trained abroad;
- marriage records of his descendants, in a straight line, including that of the applicant's parents
- certificate issued by the competent authorities of the foreign state of emigration, certifying that the Italian ancestor did not acquire the citizenship of the foreign state of emigration prior to the birth of the ancestor concerned
