The Critical Change

The 'Minor Issue': A Turning Point in Italian Citizenship Claims

A single date in your family's history could be the key to your Italian citizenship. Recent Italian court interpretations have redefined how citizenship passes through generations, particularly focusing on when your ancestors became American citizens.

This pivotal change centers on the moment your Italian ancestor naturalized in America - especially if they had children under 21 at the time. For many Italian American families, this represents both a challenge and an opportunity.

Global RCG provided clear detailed instructions that made the process much easier. They were responsive to my questions. They were able to provide information about my grandmother's birth certificate even though the original building housing the records had been destroyed in a fire. I couldn't have done it without them.

Your Questions About Italian Citizenship, Answered

Can I still qualify if my Italy-born Anchor Ancestor became a U.S. citizen before my U.S.-born grandparent turned 21?

While consulates now must reject these cases due to the October 2024 circular, you have two viable paths: We can either explore other eligible ancestors in your family tree, or pursue your case through the Italian courts, which remain independent from these administrative guidelines and continue to approve such cases.

How does the new interpretation affect my family's specific case?

The October 2024 circular only affects how consulates and municipalities process applications. It doesn’t change the underlying law. If your case involves the “Minor Issue,” we’ll analyze your complete family tree for alternative qualifying ancestors and determine if the judicial path is your best option.

What makes the judicial path different from consular applications?

Italian courts operate independently from ministerial guidelines and can interpret citizenship laws based on judicial precedent. This means they’re still approving cases affected by the Minor Issue. Plus, court processing times average 12-18 months, compared to multi-year waits at consulates.

How long until I can have an Italian passport in hand?

Through the judicial path, most cases are resolved within 18-24 months. This timeline is significantly faster than consular processing, which can take several years. Once citizenship is recognized by the court, passport application follows standard processing times of approximately 2-3 months.
