How we help
Itinerary
We begin by showing you the lay of the land, and if you are eligible to obtain the burgundy passport, we discuss the path forward. Based on your background and lineage, we draw up milestones, timelines, costs, and everything in between. If it’s not for you, there’s no charge.
Citizenship Service
We help gather all the documents required for your application, whether from the United States, Italy or other countries, and make sure they are properly legalized and translated. We prepare you for the application with the Italian authorities, and any interviews.
Beyond the Passport
With Italian citizenship, you have access to opportunities throughout the European Union. We help you figure out how to work, own property and retire in the continent, whether that’s for right now or many years down the line.

Routes to the Burgundy Passport
Through Lineage
If your immigrant ancestor was an Italian citizen and you can prove that the Italian citizenship link was never broken through the generations, there’s a good chance that you can claim Italian citizenship.
By Marriage
Spouses of Italian citizens living abroad can apply for Italian citizenship three years after marriage (18 months if the couple has children). An entry-level Italian language test is required.
