Where to apply for Italy citizenship

Italy citizenship by descent runs through Consulates / Tribunal of Rome via the Jure sanguinis (consular) + 1948 judicial pathway. Here's who processes your case and how to reach them.

Consulate General of Italy in Boston

Serves ME, MA, NH, RI, VT

Apply here if you live in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, or Vermont. Italy assigns you to a consulate by residence, so you can't choose a different office. (Connecticut is served by New York, not Boston.)

Consulate General of Italy in New York

Serves NY, CT, NJ

Apply here if you live in New York or Connecticut — you can't choose a different office. New Jersey is split: the 13 northern and central counties (Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union, Warren) fall under New York; the 8 southern counties go to Philadelphia.

Consulate General of Italy in Philadelphia

Serves PA, DE, NC, WV, NJ, MD, VA

Serves DC, MD, VA

The embassy's consular section serves Washington, D.C. and only the DC-suburb portions of Maryland (Montgomery and Prince George's counties) and Virginia (Arlington and Fairfax counties plus the cities of Alexandria, Falls Church, and Fairfax). The rest of MD and VA fall under Philadelphia.
