Our Process

Can't wait for la dolce vita as an Italian citizen to begin, but the daily demands of your American life don't afford you the time to learn all of the nuances of Italian and American law you need to know to compile the documents your application requires?

You’ve come to the right place.

To get started, there are five easy steps:

Step 1: Book Your Consultation – During this consultation, Zoom or phone, we will go over your family history, confirm your eligibility, and answer any questions you have. The $300 fee for the call will be credited towards the purchase of your package with Your Italian Passport. Details outlining our comprehensive package are discussed below.

Step 2: Schedule Consulate Appointment – As the waitlists for appointments at nearly all consulates exceed 18 months, please understand it is best to book your appointment now. Working with Your Italian Passport will ensure your materials will be ready well in advance of your citizenship appointment at the consulate.

Step 3: Watch Webinars - Whether you are considering Italian dual-citizenship for the first time, looking to calm your nerves about your upcoming consular visit, have a spouse looking to join in on the Italy fun, or perhaps something else entirely, chances are you will find the answers you are seeking among the webinars Your Italian Passport has given with our partner The National Italian American Foundation (NIAF).

Step 4: Review Timeline - We at Your Italian Passport have created a simple timeline to help guide you through the citizenship process. Download and use this document as a quick reference guide during this journey.

The first step to getting your Italian passport is to schedule a 60-minute consultation, via Zoom or phone, with Lauren of Your Italian Passport. During this initial meeting, we will confirm your eligibility for citizenship, talk about your goals, and develop a plan tailored to your needs. This initial $300 fee will be credited toward your package if you choose to move forward.
