Italian Citizenship Questions

5 years ago
Hello everyone. I am a newbie to this website with lots of questions. Thank you for being here :) I will be using my Father's bloodline for citizenship.

A- We been told we are already citizens of Italy we just need to prove with documents.

B- In Italy will they keep all ORIGINAL documents? We know the American ones need translations and Apostille. Can I just make copies and show them the original or must they keep the original? If yes, where can I get a copy of my father naturalization paper?

C- Someone we know personally went to their bloodline relative home town in Italy and they processed their citizenship same day! They know the bloodline relative at that comune. Is this just luck or what?

D- Do we need to provide any income info?

E- Since I am using my father bloodline will I need my Mother's birth certificate OR either of my grandparents(paternal & maternal) birth certificate OR my grandparents death certificate's?

F- This is a confusing question, so my adult children are also getting citizenship under me so will all 3 of us have the same "file" or separate "files". AND will each adult child need all my certicates(birth, etc) in their " file" individually or will we need for example 3 of my birth certificate's like one for my file and one for each adult child? Do they all need to be original with Apostille and translated if yes? Or will they link all 3 of us together and have like a family file?

G- What are all the costs for 2020 for Italian Citizenship per person? Any other fees? Where do we get the forms to fill out? What is the total cost per person?

H- What medical insurance would we be covered under while waiting for citizenship or do we need our own?

I- If there is a medical emergency with us in Italy can we go to any nearest emergency room? Will they take us?

J- Do we all need a letter stating we never renounced our Italian citizenship including my father will he need a letter like this? Is this just a hand written letter or a form they have? If so, where do we get the form?

We really appreciate any and all comments to help us out :)
