HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR MY ITALIAN CITIZENSHIP TO BE READY AND HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
There are no ready-made answers to these questions. Each case is a particular case and needs to be analyzed individually in its details so that the process of Italian citizenship succeed.
THE cost will depend directly from the number of people involved in the process, what State are the certificates, from what year, from the search for the certificate in Italy, from the information you already have and also the complexity of the case.
As for time, this is also relative. It depends on where you intend to do the reconnaissance and especially where you live. we work with Italian citizenship directly in Italy because to be done through the Consulates in Brazil, wait an average of 10 to 15 years in the queue and directly in Italy 3 to 4 months after having all the documents prepared in Brazil.
This documentation preparation takes 2-3 months to complete. Even if your process is done in Italy, we still depend on the Consulates to Legalize documents to be valid in Italy. Each one has its rules and its demand and time to legalize the certificates and its form of scheduling.
The certificates must be analyzed one by one after they are found and before being translated, in order to avoid that small errors can compromise the process.
I am a great-granddaughter of Italians, I have the right to ITALIAN CITIZENSHIP ?
ANSWER: To the Italian citizenship there are no generation limits, there are only two restrictions:

The most correct thing would be for you to gather as much information as possible about the family and gather certificates, even if old, and the greatest amount of information and send us for an analysis of your case specifically, since in Italian citizenship each case is presented in a different way. very particular, and must be analyzed individually in its details.
Italian citizenship process recognized in Brazil by brother, facilitates another in Italy?
The fact that the brother already has Italian citizenship through Brazil this will certainly make mine easier and how and at what cost for me to have direct in Italy and what is the cost?
If you recognize Italian citizenship through Brazil, it will certainly help, as you will only present the certificates that have not yet been presented when you are called.
The big downside is the wait on average it is 10 to 15 years in the queue. If you are going to apply for citizenship directly in Italy, the fact that your brother has already recognized you here in Brazil does not change anything, nor does it make the process easier. THE same it will have to be assembled complete with all the certificates to be presented there, according to the current regulations. THE Italian citizenship recognized through Brazil and through Italy are independent of each other and the procedures and requirements are also different.
I have errors in the certificates, correct or not?
Before going out to rectify the certificates, plan your Italian citizenship and choose the mode and where you will recognize it. The Italian Citizenship Rights team analyzes your certificates carefully, one by one, according to the requirements of our community. This is important, because even though in Italy there is a circular that regulates citizenship and specific laws, but each comune has done the practice at its own pleasure, demanding things that are not in the law. Usually spelling errors in surnames do not need to be rectified, as in the case of Brazilian consulates, as long as they don't mischaracterize and depersonalize the person, don't have the slightest problem.
But, it still depends on where and with whom you are going to do it. Our community accepts small errors. It just doesn't accept date errors on certificates from the same person. For this reason, we always ask you to send us all the certificates of the process for an accurate analysis, which will guarantee a greater security for everyone.
The benefits of a no rectification are:
1. Bigger agility.
two. shorter time.
3. Lower cost.
4. clearer the certificates.
Plan your Italian citizenship, search for professionals who prepared for it before rectify exchanges of letters and Brazilianizations in the certificates of Brazilian civil registry.
MY PARENTS WERE NOT MARRIED, DO I HAVE THE RIGHT TO ITALIAN CITIZENSHIP?
Italian citizenship for natural children, which would be those born in a non-marital civil union, are called “natural” children in Italy, previously called “illegitimate” children. If this is your case, you can request the Italian citizenship even so.
If the birth deponents are not the parents or is not the person who is transmitting citizenship to you, it will be necessary to attach to the process a declaratory public deed made in a Notary Office recognizing him as your legitimate son.
This must be signed by the parents, if he is a minor, and by the child also this one is bigger. After it is necessary to make a public sign at another notary office or at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, according to the legalization rules of the consulate in your jurisdiction, translate and legalize normally along with the other Civil Registry Certificates inherent to the citizenship process.
