Even if you are affected by the so-called 1948 rule, you can still claim your rights to Italian citizenship via the judicial route. Find out the requirements for claiming Italian citizenship via the judicial court and speak to our specialist advisors about our services today.
If any of your Italian ancestors along the direct bloodline was a woman who gave birth to her descendant before January 1, 1948, the available procedure to obtain formal recognition of Italian citizenship is a judicial proceeding before the Italian Courts. This scenario is generally referred to as the 1948 case.
Under previous legislation, in fact, Italian women were not equally treated as men – they could not pass Italian citizenship on to their offspring before 1st January 1948. Moreover, if they gained foreign citizenship by marrying a foreign man, they were not allowed to keep their Italian citizenship.
Rest assured, even if your case falls under the above scenario, you may still claim your rights to Italian citizenship. As of 2009, many claimants have been successful.
