Italian Citizenship via Maternal
We receive many emails with questions about these matters. In fact, there is a lot of mismatched and confusing information and many sites that are not updated, but it's quite simple. I go explain easily and clearly.
If you have a woman in the direct line of transmission, any woman, you should note when her child was born, regardless of who that woman is, great-great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, great-grandmother, grandmother, mother:
This woman's son to receive the Italian citizenship her must have been born after 01/01/1948.
Simple no?
Now I will also explain to you in the simplest way also why there is this exception in the law of Italian citizenship of February 5, 1992.

The Italian woman who married a foreign citizen automatically lost Italian nationality, so if she ceased to be Italian, and most of them married here in Brazil before 1948. She came to have the right and to transmit Italian citizenship to the their children who were born after the promulgation of the constitution on 01/01/1948. Today there is the possibility of recognition via judicial as we can.
The process for recognition of maternal citizenship can be done through justice in Italy, carried out by lawyers duly registered in the Italian law. Everything is done with a contract for the provision of legal services and in at no time does the applicant need to go to Italy. After the action protocol the completion average 2 to 4 years because they are deadlines are judicial, that is, it may be less or more, independent of our interference. The last actions have been out in less than 3 years, because the jurisprudence was formed.
All actions are deferred, we had no problems with regard to the success of the processes. Each case is analyzed individually by the Italian justice. Interested parties must prepare the documentation as if they were going to carry out the process at the consulate, meeting the requirements of each consulate, with new certificates, full content, ministry of foreign affairs, public sign ERESP, sworn translation and legalization.
Each interested party must sign a specific power of attorney, without the need for notarization, which must forward to us along with a copy of the Brazilian passport and a simple copy of the front and back of all documents that will be legalized at the competent consulate where the person resides. We file the action and an average of 2, 3 years for the process must be granted when the sentence will be issued obliging the consulate to recognize citizenship. For this reason, the certificates must comply with the recognition requirements of each consulate.
The court, which in this case is of ordinary procedure, after the sentence within 90 days notifies the consulate in Brazil for the execution of the sentence. Once the consulate receives the notification, it will have another 90 days to carry out the recognition and complete the practice.
