Know exactly what you are getting.

German and Italian routes have different legal histories. An ancestor, surname or DNA result is not an eligibility decision.

Each guide keeps its original source dates and exact scope. Government, translation and adviser fees are separate from our pack price.

🇩🇪 Germany

German citizenship by descent: recognition and declaration research

German citizenship can pass through a German legal parent, subject to the law and family history at each birth. Recognition of existing citizenship, a section 5 declaration and restoration are different procedures. Start with the responsible German mission’s questionnaire rather than treating a German ancestor as automatic eligibility.

🇮🇹 Italy

Italian citizenship by descent under current recognition rules

Italian citizenship by descent is subject to the 2025 changes to Law 91/1992 and the applicable exceptions. A distant Italian ancestor alone does not establish eligibility. This guide covers the current San Francisco consular checklist and helps organise evidence for the authority’s decision.
