December 31, 2027 is the deadline qualifying former Italian citizens need to know. Law No. 74/2025 created a temporary route for certain people who previously held Italian citizenship and lost it under older rules, allowing them to seek reacquisition through a formal declaration between July 1, 2025 and the end of 2027.
If you once held Italian citizenship yourself, this process deserves separate attention from citizenship by descent. Italy360Pro assists with assessing whether the reacquisition provision fits your history and preparing the documentation needed to pursue it.
The Temporary Window Applies To Former Italian Citizens
The current provision applies to people who previously possessed Italian citizenship and lost it no later than August 15, 1992 under specific provisions of Italy’s former citizenship law. It creates a limited opportunity to reacquire citizenship rather than establish an ancestral claim for the first time.
