Recognize the Italian
in your story.
Italian citizenship is a birthright passed quietly through generations. We help American descendants reclaim it — with Italian and U.S.-based lawyers and the calm of a concierge.
Example lineage
A name carried across an ocean and a century.
A complete dossier, handled.
From your first eligibility question to the day you collect your Italian passport — every step, every record, every notarized translation.
Four steps. One outcome.
We've shaped the chaos of bureaucracy into a calm, four-step process. You'll always know what's happening and what comes next.
Eligibility
A 15-minute call to map your lineage and identify the cleanest legal path: consulate, comune, or court.
Records
Our genealogists in Italy and document team in the US gather every record, apostille, and certified translation in your dossier.
Filing
We submit your complete dossier at the consulate of jurisdiction, your ancestral comune, or — for 1948 cases — the appropriate Italian court.
Recognition
When recognized, we register you with AIRE, apply for your passport, and welcome you, formally, home.
Every line we trace ends at a comune— a small town hall holding a record with your family’s name.
From day one, The ctzn felt like more than just a service provider, they were true partners in this journey. They handled my case from start to finish: vital records, translations, citizenship recognition, and even getting my passport once everything was approved. I never felt lost or alone in the process. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to finally claim their Italian roots.Giulia F.Boston
