Before booking an appointment through the Prenot@mi portal, it is important to correctly identify the citizenship procedure applicable to your specific situation.
There are different ways to acquire Italian citizenship or have it recognized, each requiring different procedures and documentation.
Therefore, we recommend carefully reviewing the information in this section to understand which procedure applies to your situation.
You can also consult the “Citizenship – Synthesis” page to better identify your situation.
The appointment at the Citizenship Office is not intended for consultation purposes; it is intended exclusively for the formal submission of the application and required documentation, as well as—where applicable—submission of the necessary declarations.
If, after consulting the instructions on the website, you are still unsure about the correct procedure to follow or the documentation required, before booking an appointment, you can contact the Citizenship Office at washington.cittadinanza@esteri.it.
It is therefore recommended that you:
- Identify the citizenship procedure applicable to your situation;
- Read the instructions in the relevant sections carefully;
- Gather the required documentation;
- Book the appointment via the Prenot@mi portal only once the documentation is complete.
