The 2025 draft budget bill, recently presented by the Government includes an article—Article 106—that introduces a significant change for anyone seeking recognition of Italian Citizenship.
Under Article 106, a new € 600 charge for each applicant payable to the Court will be introduced for legal cases for Italian citizenship recognition in Court. This means that those filing a petition for Citizenship recognition will have to pay this amount, even though the petition is submitted jointly with others at the same proceeding. This is a substantial increase with respect to the current charges that are cumulative and irrespective to the number of claimants.
This provision could have a significant impact, particularly for those seeking recognition as Italian citizens from birth, as it would notably raise the costs of accessing justice in such cases.
Important note: Article 106 is still subject to final approval by the Parliament. If approved, it would come into force on January 1, 2025.
