What it means for you and your family
Yes, if your case qualifies. A consular application goes to the Italian consulate that serves your home address. For Buenos Aires: Consulate General of Italy in Buenos Aires. Before you order documents, confirm that your case meets an exception in Law 74/2025.
It depends on the consulate and on your case: each office runs its own appointment calendar, and wait times change. We won't promise you a date. We will help you have every document ready by the time your appointment comes.
Mainly: your Italian ancestor's birth record from the comune where they were born, a certificate showing they did not naturalize, and the birth, marriage and death records for the whole line, each with an apostille and an Italian translation.
It might. Since March 28, 2025, anyone born outside Italy who holds another citizenship is recognized only if an exception in Law 74/2025 applies. The main one: your father, mother, grandfather or grandmother holds, or held at death, only Italian citizenship. The others: one of your parents lived in Italy for 2 consecutive years as an Italian citizen before you were born, or you filed your application, had an appointment date assigned, or filed a court case by March 27, 2025. It applies in court too. Take the free screener to check your case.
