Jure sanguinis means “bloodright.” This is the path to Italian citizenship for those of demonstrable Italian descent.
As of 1992, the Italian government passed a law allowing people of Italian descent to apply for and obtain Italian citizenship. Italy requires you to prove your Italian ancestry with proper documentation and does not require you to renounce your current citizenship, which allows you to hold multiple passports and be a dual citizen.
NOTE: IN MAY 2025, THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT PASSED A NEW LAW SUBSTANTIALLY ALTERING THE CRITERIA FOR ELIGIBILITY FOR CITIZENSHIP IURE SANGUINIS.
Under the new law, Italian citizenship is passed if: you have an Italian-born parent or grandparent who held at the time of death (or holds, at the time of application) exclusively Italian citizenship, OR you have a parent who resided in Italy for at least 2 years as an Italian citizen prior to your birth (regardless of the parent’s place of birth).
If you have Italian heritage but do not fall under one of the above categories, please contact Passport to Italy to learn how you can challenge the new law in the Italian courts and fight for your Italian citizenship!
