Is Italian Citizenship worth recognizing in 2020?

In times of coronavirus and a high euro, descendants can opt for legal action

Will it be possible to proceed with the Italian citizenship process in 2020? The answer is yes.

Despite the moment of uncertainty experienced in Italy, due to the coronavirus pandemic, it is possible to maintain the dream of Italian citizenship.

🔴 Supreme Court • May 2026

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.

The question that must be asked is: is it worth going to Italy and carrying out my administrative process, proving that I am a resident in Italy?

Because of protective measures against the virus, many communes (comuni, in the plural, in Italian) will be completely crowded, with services delayed. And of course, citizenship processes will not be a priority.

In this case, the best option is to choose the judicial route.

The applicant can file a lawsuit in the Civil Court of Rome, arguing that the Italian consulates in Brazil have failed to comply with the law. To do so, they must be in the consulate's waiting list. This is known as a "lawsuit against the waiting lists."

85% of applications for Italian citizenship are from Brazilians 

The process that was already the safest – as it does not need to declare temporary residence, as occurs in administrative processes on Italian soil – became even more popular.

No need to travel to Italy

In times of expensive euro and risk of contamination, the interested party does not need to travel to Italy at any time.

All you need is a public power of attorney, specific to the process, and the documents to file the lawsuit. The lawyer (registered in Italy) will carry out the entire procedure on behalf of the applicant, who can follow the process online.

A way to guarantee the right to citizenship, safely and at a lower cost.
