Passport issuance also saw an increase: 14.726 documents were issued, compared to 12.124 in the previous year. Another milestone was the registration of new citizens in the Aire (Register of Italians Living Abroad), which totaled 20.403 new practices in 2024, a jump of 38,61% compared to the 14.719 registrations made in 2023.
The numbers are also impressive in civil status services: 5.416 cases were processed, marking a growth of 42,04% compared to the previous year.
The Supreme Court reaffirmed: citizenship is born with the person.

The consulate, under the leadership of Consul General Eugenia Tiziana Berti, has implemented projects such as “PassaportAmico” to assist the elderly and urgent cases. In addition, biometric data collection for passport issuance will be facilitated with the opening of a new office in Florianópolis, scheduled for 2025.
The outlook for the coming years is optimistic: the consulate expects to process more than 12 new applications for Italian citizenship "iure sanguinis" by 2026.
“Working in harmony with the community, listening to criticism and suggestions is essential to building an even more promising future for Italian-Brazilians,” concluded the consul.
