Overview

Overview

Italy recognizes descendants of Italians as citizens. In 2025, Law 74/2025 changed the rule for those born abroad: automatic recognition now generally applies to people with a parent or grandparent born in Italy.

There are exceptions, such as applications and lawsuits filed by 27 March 2025, and the matter is still being discussed in Italian courts. That is why we analyze your line before you spend anything on documents.

When to hire

When to hire

  • You have a parent or grandparent born in Italy.
  • You started an application or lawsuit before 27/03/2025 and need follow-up.
  • There is a woman in the line with a child born before 1948 (court route).

Why Suman

Why Suman

  • We check your tree against the current law before you invest in certificates.
  • We handle the whole process: documents in Brazil and Italy, translations, apostilles and the application.
  • You talk directly to the responsible lawyer, with no middlemen.
