Certified translation into Italian is a necessary service throughout the process of obtaining Italian citizenship. Traduzca has a certified Italian translator to meet your needs.

Who is eligible for Italian citizenship?
Italian citizenship is acquired under the principle of jus sanguinis (right of blood), with no generational limit. That is, great-great-grandchildren, great-grandchildren, grandchildren, and children may initiate the process. In addition to eligibility through ancestry, spouses of Italian citizens are also entitled to citizenship, and the process is even simpler.

How does the process work?
The process can be carried out either in Brazil or in Italy. Document preparation and waiting times vary according to where you start the process. In Brazil, for example, obtaining Italian citizenship may take up to 10 years, while in Italy it can be achieved in a few months.

Which documents are required?
Each dual citizenship application involves specific documents, which can be checked in detail on the Consulate’s website. Certified translation of the original certificates (birth, marriage, death, and CNN) is mandatory for the Italian citizenship recognition process.
