Following the implementation of the new Budget Law effective January 1, 2025, several Italian Consulates are progressively adjusting the fees for applications for the recognition of Italian citizenship by descent (iure sanguinis).
The Application Consular Fee, previously set at approximately 300 euros, has been increased to 600 euros per application, as established by Article 1, paragraph 639, of the 2025 Budget Law.
For example, at the Italian Consulate in Philadelphia, this increase corresponds to $643.70 USD for the period from January 1 to March 31, 2025.
Based on our review, all the Consulates of US have already implemented the new fee structure.
We recommend applicants check the official website of their respective Consulate to confirm the updated fees and plan accordingly for the consular service charges.
