Questions

Is this legal advice?+

No. This is an administrative document preparation service. We are not regulated by the SRA or OISC. Cases requiring court proceedings (including the 1948 maternal line) require a solicitor.

What is the €600 fee?+

The Italian government fee for processing a citizenship-by-descent application. Doubled from €300 on 1 January 2025. Paid directly to the consulate at the oath ceremony. Separate from our service fee.

What are the generation limits?+

Law 74/2025 limits jure sanguinis to two generations from the Italian-born ancestor. Grandparent → parent → applicant. Beyond this, the residency route in Italy is required.

How long does the process take?+

UK consulates process jure sanguinis applications in 12 to 24 months from submission. Our service covers preparation, not processing.

Can I purchase monitoring only?+

Yes. The £40 service is independent.

Why does document order matter?+

The FCDO apostille must precede translation. Italian certificates should be requested via ANPR first. Incorrect sequencing doubles costs and timelines.
