We would like to inform that the 2026 Annual Budget Law (Law of December 30, 2025) has made some changes to the rules governing the registration of birth certificates for minors (Article 4, paragraph 1 bis, letter b of Law No. 91 of February 5, 1992), particularly for cases falling under scenario E as outlined at this link. Pending completion of the revision and update of the relevant information section on our website, we kindly ask users to pay close attention to the following.
Declarations made by parents—at least one of whom is an Italian citizen by birth—pursuant to Article 4, paragraph 1-bis, letter b) of Law No. 91/1992, may be submitted from January 1, 2026, within three years (and no longer within one year) of the birth of the minor or from the subsequent date on which filiation, including adoption, by an Italian citizen is established. The legislation has therefore extended the deadline for submitting the declaration by two years.
