The dream of having recognized Italian citizenship While obtaining all the benefits of holding a European passport can be hampered by some obstacles during the documentation gathering phase, it's important to remember that.

The good news is that these possible failures can be easily avoided, with the support of experienced professionals, who will provide all the necessary guidance during the process.

So that nothing prevents the realization of this dream of having the Italian citizenship recognized, we list below the main reasons that can prevent the success of a process of this nature.

Discrepancies in certificates

Italian justice denies citizenship when there are doubts regarding offspring. These doubts can be generated by irregularities or discrepancies in the spelling of family name of the applicants, which must be the same as the name of the ancestor who immigrated from Italy to Brazil.

If one Italian surname is incorrectly recorded in a record, such as a marriage or birth certificate, for example, it will be necessary to make a correction.

It is worth remembering that it is necessary to focus on data correction related to the applicant's line of ancestry back to Italian.

Check what needs to be corrected:

Corrections must be made in the event of any type of name discrepancy. The most common are “Brazilianization” or “Portuguese-ization” of Italian names, very common in Brazilian registry offices during the large flow of Italian immigrants, between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.

Mistakes in names

For this reason, it is easy to find names like Giovanni spelled as João, or Luigi becoming Luiz in the certificates registered in Brazil. These discrepancies between the Italian birth certificate and the certificates of descendants in Brazil may justify the rejection of the citizenship application.

Other discrepancies that must be corrected are: phonetic changes, which can give a different sound to the Italian name. This occurs when one of the double consonants is omitted, for example, when “zz” becomes “z” or “tt” becomes “t”.

Even these minor changes can justify the denial of Italian citizenship, as many Italian family names They differ by just one letter, which gives different phonetics to that name.

Another common situation is the removal of the middle name of the Italian ancestor. For example, the name Giovanni Salvatore Rossi may appear in the certificates registered in Brazil just like Giovanni Rossi.

This is an important divergence, which must eventually be rectified.

Birthplace

Other common errors in certificates are naturalness, that is, when the records are wrong birthplace of the Italian ancestor. It is not necessary to specify the exact place of birth, but the birth certificate must state that he was born in Italy.

Often the records contain the phrase “native of this State”, referring to a Brazilian region, which can ruin all the investment in the process obtaining Italian citizenship.

birth dates

Finally, errors in birth date and age. For everything to be correct, it is necessary to calculate the ages mentioned in each document, so that they can be compared with the year of birth. This ensures that no errors were made in the certificates registered in Brazil.

These are the most common faults that must be corrected to ensure applicant success in obtaining their Italian citizenship.
