Your journey to Italian citizenship starts here
If you have Italian ancestry, you might already qualify for dual citizenship. But unlocking it isn’t easy.
Applying for Italian citizenship means diving into years of family records and foreign documents. Without everything perfectly in place, the U.S. Consulate can reject or delay your application indefinitely. That’s where Italian Roots comes in.
We handle the heavy lifting, from tracking down family records to ensuring every document is correct, certified, and Consulate-ready. All you have to do is show up to your appointment.

Let’s make dual citizenship streamlined and tailored to your unique family history.
Italian citizenship is passed down by bloodline, so many Americans may already qualify without knowing it—though proving your ancestry can be complicated. That’s where Italian Roots comes in!
Update: In late 2024, Italy changed the law. If your Italian ancestor became a citizen elsewhere before August 16, 1992, and their child (your parent or grandparent) was underage at the time, that child may have lost their Italian citizenship, possibly affecting your eligibility. We can help you explore alternative paths to Italian citizenship if this applies to you.
Your Italian roots might be closer than you think.
With an Italian passport, you and all future generations of your family can:
Live, work, or study anywhere in the EU without restrictions.
Travel freely throughout Europe without visas.
Access healthcare and benefits available to EU citizens.
We help you prove your family's connection and make it official.
We inherit from our ancestors gifts so often taken for granted. Each of us contains within us this inheritance of soul. We are links between the ages, containing past and present expectations, sacred memories, and future promise.
