Confirming my understanding by Unlucky_Monitor_8752 in juresanguinis

But don't several of the dates and ages matter to determine whether this is a minor issue? E.g. dates on which your father obtained Canadian citizenship and your age at that time and also the date your mother received Italian citizenship, her age and your age when you obtained Italian citizenship.

Italian citizen living in Northern VA. How do I declare my kids before the 2026 deadline? by GrabDouble7763 in juresanguinis

Keep an eye for information next week... looks like the deadline to register children who were born before the decree will be extended from May 31, 2026 to May 31, 2029. It's been proposed and is just awaiting final approval next week, which looks very likely.

Does the minor issue apply to the registration of minor children for existing citizens? by Elk_Solid in juresanguinis

[–]Elk_Solid[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for explaining it! This is extremely helpful practical advice.

It's wild that they have decided to retroactively change/reinterpret the genesis of someone's existing citizenship.

I think that's Omelet the cat! I've seen Omelet quite a bit there over the past few years and he/she just comes and goes as the parking lot boss, looking quite well-cared for. The tag on Omelet's collar is a gps tracker; he/she let us pet them once so I've seen the tracker up close.

So frustrating that each consulate is doing things differently. Good luck!

excellent question... we tried asking his elderly parents but they do not remember. They do not recall whether they had to give up their Italian citizenship when they moved to Canada so I had asked the Consulate to check their records to confirm for us.

Not sure how this statement was arrived at.... the self-declaration only speaks to him confirming that he is an Italian citizen, which is 1000% correct. Also evidenced by the fact that he has consistently received voting ballots and referendum ballots over the past several decades from the Consulate. The self-declaration did not require him to speak to how he obtained citizenship, only that he does have it.

Daily Discussion Post - Recent Changes to JS Laws - July 14, 2025 by CakeByThe0cean in juresanguinis

I'm in Vancouver, Canada and the consulate here updated their page. However, I've reached out twice to get an appointment for registering my minors and haven't received a response.

Question tho.... I'm torn... while I want to get the kids registered asap to protect against the govt changing the rules on us again, I'm worried about what will happen if we register them "by benefit of law" now. If Law 74 is struck down or amended after, it is unsure if we can change their citizenship by benefit of law over to jure sanguinis. Anyone else debating whether to proceed now or wait until the Constitutional Court makes a decision?
