Standing in line at the consulate doesn't erase your right to citizenship.

The Italian Supreme Court has confirmed that a consular blockade is legal grounds for legal action.

• Is the process stalled or poorly managed?
• Maternal lineage?
• Incomplete documentation?

See if there is still a solution.

Improved convenience

A significant change will be the elimination of the need to physically travel to the consulate to obtain documents. For many Brazilians who live in distant cities or face transportation challenges, this innovation will provide greater convenience and ease of access to consular services.

Time Savings

The document request and delivery process will be optimized, eliminating the need for in-person appointments. This will result in significant time savings for applicants, streamlining the entire bureaucratic process.

Expanded accessibility

The availability of services via mail will ensure that a wider public has access to consular services. Individuals with reduced mobility or who live in remote areas will directly benefit from this measure, promoting greater inclusion.

Services available via mail

The following services can be requested through the mail system:

1. Life Certificate
2. Residence certificate
3. Declaration of Nationality and Civil Status
4. Declaration for the purposes of marriage or civil union in Italy (formerly Nulla osta)
5. Miscellaneous statements
6. Passport for people over 18 years old (only for people who have already had their fingerprint taken)

Procedure for requesting services via mail

Those interested in using this service modality should access the website of the Consulate General of Brazil in Milan or the application E-consular. After filling out the request form, the documents will be sent by post after the request has been approved.

157 thousand Brazilians live in Italy

According to data from the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is estimated that the Brazilian population in Italy is 157 thousand people. This number has been growing in recent years, mainly due to the ease of obtaining Italian citizenship by descendants of Italians.

The region with the highest concentration of Brazilians in Italy is Lombardy, in the north of the country, which is home to around 92 thousand Brazilians.
