Guide to obtaining a citizenship certificate

Instructions for quickly applying for a citizenship certificate

The citizenship certificate is an official document issued by the Civil Registry Office of the municipality of residence or of birth of the interested party.

It certifies the Italian citizenship of a person and certifies the possession of the status civitatis, that is, the legal membership of the same to the Italian State.

The certificate contains the essential personal data of the holder: name, surname, date and place of birth, and the formal declaration of Italian citizenship. In some cases, additional notes may also be indicated, such as the acquisition or loss of citizenship through naturalization, marriage, renunciation, or ministerial decree.

This document is required in numerous legal and administrative procedures, such as the submission of dichiarazione di succession.
