General Information

The Citizenship Department operates by appointment only. All applications must be submitted in person or by mail to the Citizenship Office of the Consulate General (the specific procedures for the different types of citizenship are provided here below).

You may book appointments for the Citizenship Department of our Consulate General only by using PRENOT@MIThis booking system shows different categories availability as follows:

Tuesdays and Thursdays – Citizenship by descent (Jure Sanguinis) for adults (18 and above)

Wednesdays – Citizenship by marriage, renunciation

For REACQUISITION a date will be communicated individually after the request has been submitted and approved by email. Please visit the specific Reacquisition section.

Please refer to the Vital Records section for citizenship for MINORS.

 

“Prenot@mi” opens the calendar for one month at a time. Considering the massive number of applicants, the system is often fully booked and it does not show any availability. Perseverance is the only key to obtaining an appointment.

Please note that “Prenot@mi” is free of charge. Whoever makes appointments on behalf of others charging a fee must be reported to this Consulate General and legal actions will be taken against him/her.
