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.

• Were you unable to schedule an appointment at the consulate?
• Is the process stalled or poorly managed?
• Maternal lineage?
• Incomplete documentation?

See if there is still a solution.

A historic demand of the Italian community in Santa Catarina, the consular unit was promised by former governor Eduardo Pinho Moreira (MDB) who signaled at the end of his term the transfer of the available space in the State Administrative Center, in the Saco Grande neighborhood.

However, authorization will be given by the current Legislative Assembly of Santa Catarina, which is expected to resume the matter in February.

It is estimated that Santa Catarina has around 3 million descendants of Italians, almost half of its population. Today, anyone who needs consular assistance must travel to Curitiba.
