Description

The citizenship certificate certifies the Italian citizenship of a natural person.

What is the Certificate of Citizenship? Who is it for? Who can apply for it?

The Certificate of Citizenship can be obtained even if the citizen is resident abroad (AIRE), provided that they have not been removed from the national registry for non-repatriation reasons.

They are Italian citizens:

• citizens born in Italian territory;
• minor foreign children adopted by Italian parents;
• children born to Italian parents;
• Minors born to unknown parents in Italy unless another citizenship has been established; ;
• foreign citizens who have obtained Italian citizenship (obtained by decree of the Minister of the Interior);
• the spouses of Italian citizens who have been legally resident in the Italian territory for at least six months or three years after the marriage (unless there has been an annulment/divorce/dissolution).

Such a certificate can be requested by the person concerned or by third parties who intend to ascertain the Italian citizenship of a natural person.

N.B. It is not possible to request a certificate of citizenship for deceased persons.

What does the citizenship certificate contain? How long is it valid?

The requested document contains information about the natural person's Italian citizenship. In particular, the Certificate of Citizenship states:

• name;
• surname;
• date and place of birth,
• specific citizenship.

The validity period of the citizenship certificate is six months from the date of its delivery. After the six months have expired, the document is no longer valid and does not guarantee the accuracy of the information contained therein. However, the person concerned may extend its validity by declaring that their citizenship has not changed. In any case, a new certificate may be requested in the manner described below.

The citizenship certificate serves to make the rights resulting from Italian citizenship enforceable. It is necessary to establish residence.

N.B. Citizenship certificates can be issued by the municipality with or without stamp. In the latter case, the stamp fee is €16.00 + 0.26 for the secretarial fees; in the latter case, only €0.26 for the secretarial fees will be required.
