Applying for a European passport for Italy

You can get full information about whether you are eligible, forms, lists of required documents, etc from your nearest Italian or German embassy or consulate.

You should be aware that there is no such thing as a "European passport". The individual countries of the European Union, as well as those countries which are not members of the EU, issue their own passports. The EU ones tend to issue passports in a standard size, colour, shape, etc, but they are still Italian, French, German etc passports.

Hi there,
Thank you for your last reply, I do however have another question. My uncle has an Italian passport would i be able to apply for mine via him as we are blood relatives? And if yes where can i get hold of the forms to fill in as well as how long does this proccedure take?

Did you read my post?

Maybe you didn't understand what I wrote?

Maybe you don't read English too well? Anyway, I have saved you the trouble of typing "Italian consulates South Africa" into Google.

hi
Hi
I do understand english perfectly. As i have said before this is all new to me and am looking for any help possible i have never applyed before and am unsure of the doings. Thank you for helping me thus far i have visited the sites you have provided me with and am unable to get any applications off them what so ever. Call me stupid but i i am really needind your patients right now. Thank you for your help i really appreciate it. Unfortunately you had not answered my last question, would i be able to apply via my uncle who is already a registered Italian citizen.

Parents or grandparents yes - uncle no.

I gave you the postal addresses so you could write a letter to the consulate or embassy requesting an application form and explanatory literature.

hi
and yes i have e-mailed them they are telling me to get other information are you by any chance pushing me off as you can not help me? not to worry ill seek help some where else as you clearly think im thick "stupid" in your last post, i clearly misunderstood your site i thaught you were supposed to help the people who register on your site who have questions but me questions are not getting answered here and seeking help from the embassy is difficult as they do not understand what it is im looking for they keep telling me the same thing. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP ANYWAY PLEASE CLOSE THIS TOPIC I SHALL NOT BE BACK

Re: hi


This is priceless!

It's not "my" site, I don't work here! I'm a member of the public, just like you, who thought he could help. That how this site works!

You clearly DID misunderstand this site! You should apply to the moderators for your joining fee and question fee to be refunded.

Although getting prepare to fill in the online application form to get passports take some time out to realize the blog that many passport companies post about exclusive holiday packages, cruises and travels.

You have to be a citizen of a country to get a passport for that country.
As you are a South African citizen you cannot get a German or Italian passport just like that.
You father was born in Germany and your grandparents in Italy.
If your grandparents kept their Italian citizenship your father was also an Italian citizen and you have no rights for a German citizen ship at all.

saab, this thread died 3 years ago!

Gosh, I am not really awake in this heat.... Thanks for telling me
