If the father's name is spelt in Italian (Alfredo) on his birth certificate, and my name is spelt in English (Alfred), am I Alfred the Second?
No.If I understood correctly, you share the same name with your father even if his name is Italian (Alfredo) and yours, Alfred, is not.In this case you may be referred to as Alfred Junior and he, Alfredo Senior.In the event you were to have a son and decided to call him Alfred, he'd be Alfred the Third.Second, as you see, generally is not used.
How do I obtain my great grandfather's birth certificate from Italy and naturalization documents from the USA?
You would need to know his exact name , date and place of birth. The latter is not a given since I personally know of many Italian immigrants that had their names changed when entering the USA because of typos or extravagant interpretation of the original sounds by a bureaucrat that sometimes had to guess the spelling from analphabet.With those you could try to request his birth certificate from your nearest Italian consulate. I am not sure but I guess naturalization is something you'd need to look for there in the USA.
Somewhere in Genoa (Italy), there is an office that has my birth certificate...?
My mother is an Italian citizen, and so by law I qualify for citizenship also. She always told me that somewhere in Genoa, there is an office that has my birth certificate. She and I have spent days on the italian consulate (los angeles) page, looking for a link to the place, but we can't find it. Point is I need to send a letter to the specific office asking for things like my birth certificate so that I can go to L.A. and get my passport. It's far fetched, but if anyone could help, thanks.
Can I still get dual citizenship without my parents marriage certificate?
If the law requires a marriage certificate, and your parents never married, you're done. If the law requires proof of your parents Italian citizenship, you need their birth certificate(s), passport, or naturalization certificate, plus your long-form birth certificate which lists their citizenship(s) as of your time of birth. Italian law takes legitimacy/illegitimacy seriously, and you are illegitimate, so if your parents were not married at time of your birth, you may need DNA tests to legally prove paternity. Make sure you double-check exactly what the law requires and provide that. Usually you need proper proof of parents' citizenship. And you need proof of parentage. Legitimacy includes presumption of paternity; illegitimacy precludes that and forces you to additional proofs.
Can I get an italian passport?
My nonna was born in Fiume, Italy (What is now Rijeka) in 1944. Her birth certificate recognises her as an Italian citizen, not a Croatian, as does my great grandfathers. (Everyone before her is recognised Italian). They left Fiume in 1947, at the time where Italians were being asked to renounce their citizenship and become Croatian, but my nonna nor the family gave up their italian citizenship and subsequently fled and came to Australia. I'm wondering if i qualify for an italian passport with this?
I was born in Naples Italy to American parents. My father was in the AF. I have an American and an Italian birth certificate. Does that count as dual citizenship?
The answer is no.I'm sorry I have to bear bad news.On the basis of the sole information you provided, it seems that you only have American citizenship. As Italian citizenship is concerned, unfortunately it appears that not only you do not currently hold it, but you also have no grounds to apply for it.The United States is both a jus soli country (birth on the land grants automatic citizenship except in rare circumstances) and a jus sanguinis country (it grants citizenship to the descendants of citizens).Italy is solely a jus sanguinis country: being born within the borders of the Republic does not automatically grant citizenship.It is unfortunately irrelevant that you possess your birth certificate as registered by the Italian Anagrafe office, if at least one of your parents does not hold Italian citizenship him/herself.If indeed it happens that at least one of your parents also holds an Italian citizenship, then you have grounds to apply for Italian citizenship yourself. If neither parent holds Italian citizenship but one of your remote ancestors does, you might also have grounds to apply, although the paperwork is significantly more onerous.There are additional grounds to apply for Italian citizenship on birth grounds, but they don’t seem to apply to your case as you describe it:a person born in Italy from unknown or stateless parents acquires Italian citizenshipa person born in Italy from parents that are citizens of non-jus-sanguinis countries (countries that won’t extend citizenship to the child)a person who was born and resided continuously in Italy from birth to their 18th birthday can apply for Italian citizenship, during a 1-year window starting at their 18th birthday.You can also naturalize: if you resided legally in Italy for at least ten years, have no criminal record, and can demonstrate financial resources, you can apply for naturalization. Reduced residence requirements apply to descendants of Italian grandparents, foreigners born in Italy, EU nationals, refugees, or adoptive children of Italian citizens.
Can I get Italian citizenship threw my grandfather?
My paternal grandfather was born in the Istrian part of Croatia that belonged to Italy when he was born. He served in the Italian military for several years. He has passed away many years ago but I was wondering if I could apply for Italian citizenship based on this.
