Law No. 74 of 23\/05\/2025<\/strong><\/a>, which converted with amendments Decree-Law No. 36 of 28\/03\/2025, has reformed Law No. 91 of February 5, 1992, introducing significant restrictions on the transmission of Italian citizenship<\/strong> and, consequently, on the procedure for transcribing birth certificates<\/strong> of minors born abroad.<\/p>\n

A minor born abroad to an Italian citizen is not automatically<\/strong> considered an Italian citizen.<\/p>\n

Under the new law, the minor is recognized as an Italian citizen iure sanguinis<\/em> (by right of blood, from birth) only if at least one<\/strong> of the following cases applies:<\/p>\n

\n

CASE A)<\/h3>\n

A1)<\/strong> The parent born as an Italian citizen, even if holding another citizenship, has resided in Italy for at least 2 continuous years at any point before the child’s birth<\/strong>;<\/p>\n

OR<\/strong><\/p>\n

A2)<\/strong> The parent acquired Italian citizenship (e.g. through naturalization, etc.) and resided in Italy for at least 2 continuous years after acquiring citizenship and before the child’s birth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

Residency in Italy prior to acquiring Italian citizenship<\/strong> is not valid, nor is the residency of a foreign (non-Italian) parent<\/strong> in Italy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

OR<\/strong><\/p>\n

B2)<\/strong> At the time of the child\u2019s birth, a grandparent held exclusively Italian citizenship<\/strong>.
In this case, the parent of the minor must still be an Italian citizen<\/strong>, even if not exclusively Italian.<\/p>\n
