Does anyone know how stringent the consulates are on discrepancies on first names? My great grand dad as well as great grandmother used slight variations on what is essentially the same name, example: Santino, Santi, Sante….The surname was always consistent.

Grandpa born Italy 1896. Grandma in NY or NJ USA in 1900. Her parents were Ital citizens, moved here and then left in 1903 till Grandma met Grandpa in Salerno and married in 1920 in Italy. They sailed back to US in 1921. My dad born 1926 in NY. Grandpa became US cit 1928, Grandma many years later. I have all docs needed except Grandmas birth cert because I just cant find it in NY or NJ records! And her last living daughter, my aunt, doesnt have it or remember where Grandma was born. I know I’m eligible for dual cit coz Dad was born to an Italian father/citizen. Can I still apply for dual cit without Grandmas birth cert? I have her naturalization doc and death cert to prove she did exist! Thanks for any help. Its taken me a long time to gather all this info and now I have to get it translated and apostiled! Thank you for any info you can provide.

My great grandfather was born in Italy, I should have no problem getting citizenship. My three children are over 18 can they? Or does the legacy end with me?

They would have to apply themselves, but you may all be able to apply together as a family at the same Consulate meeting. The Consulate should be informed when you set up your appointment.

I do not know when my father’s parents became American citizens, but I know that my maternal grandmother did not do so until my mother was a teenager. I am very interested in gaining dual citizenship so that I may both, buy property and live in Italy.

I am wanting to get my Italian citizenship. My mother was born in Calabria, moved to the states, became and American citizen before I was born on the day she turned 18. She never “renounced” her Italian citizenship, she just became an American citizen. Both grandparents are Italian too obviously.
How hard is it going to be for me?
Thank you,
Kenny B.

I don’t know how your mother could have gained American citizenship without renouncing her Italian citizenship.

Hi Antonio,
Because your grandfather naturalized before your father was born, I think the only way for you to get Italian citizenship would be through marriage to an Italian citizen or by naturalizing by living in Italy for 10 years. Perhaps you can go through your mother’s line if she is of Italian descent.
