Italian citizenship by descent: the 3 obstacles that block almost every application, and how we solve them

Typical case: built on real situations we often see in applications. It does not describe a single person.

"Can I do this on my own?"

S. has already gathered most of her documents and thinks she can manage alone. Then the doubts start. Are the documents enough? Where do you really begin? And who can you trust, when in Facebook groups everyone says something different?

The 3 obstacles almost everyone meets

The problem is almost never the right to citizenship itself. It is the details:

1. Documents that don't match. A surname spelled differently across the birth certificate, the marriage certificate and foreign documents.
2. Requirements different from what you read online. What worked for another user in a Facebook group may not apply to your case or to your consulate.
3. Nobody to ask. Every small hurdle means starting over to look for answers.

A mistake found late can cost weeks or months. Found early, it costs an hour of work.

How we work

1. Free call. You tell us your family story and together we work out whether your situation is feasible and how we can help.
2. Technical consultation. We analyse all your documents and tell you clearly what is usable, what is missing and in what order to proceed, before you spend time and money on the wrong application.
3. Full package. From there you have a consultant from start to finish. For every small problem, you know who to turn to.
4. We do the practical work. Research, writing, drafting and preparing the documents, entirely remotely. You only do the things that must be done in person.
5. Referrals when needed. For legal or translation matters we do not step in directly, but we point you to trusted professionals.

What changes

You no longer wonder whether you are getting something wrong. You know what is needed, in what order, and who to turn to. Problems come up at the start, when they cost little, and not on the day of the appointment.

Why not do it alone

You can do it alone. But between requirements that change from consulate to consulate, documents to correct and steps to take in order, the real cost is time and uncertainty. Help limited to a single problem leaves you alone with the next one. A consultant who follows you through the whole process saves you from finding errors when it is too late.

A note: we are consultants, not a law firm. We guide you through the whole process and, when you need legal advice or a translation, we point you to trusted professionals. If you want to know who is behind Rhiza Studio, you will find it all on the About me page.
