MAJOR UPDATE: Deadline EXTENDED to Register Minor Children of Italian Citizens Abroad (Law 74/2025)

Author: Marco Permunian & Rafael Di Furia February 20, 2026 Duration: 3:33

A proposed change from the Italian government could reshape how families handle Italian citizenship paperwork for minor children, especially for those affected by Law 74/2025 and the Tajani Decree rules on minors. With the text already approved by the Chamber of Deputies and still needing Senate approval, the key issue is how the updated framework would affect deadlines, eligibility windows, and practical steps for parents registering a child through a comune or consular route, including what families should watch for while the bill moves through Parliament. In this episode of Ask The Italian Lawyer hosted by Italian attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, we’ll learn the answer to the question: Did Italy extend the deadline to register minors under Law 74/2025?For help with the Italian citizenship process and more information about Italian Citizenship Assistance visit ICA's website:https://ItalianCitizenshipAssistance.comFor help with buying a home in Italy, and more information about Italian Real Estate Lawyers visit IREL's website:https://ItalianRealEstateLawyers.comTo contact Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and his team at Italian Citizenship Assistance & Italian Real Estate Lawyers:https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/contact/https://italianrealestatelawyers.com/contact-us/To see more from @RafaelDiFuria living abroad and life as a dual-citizen expat check out his YouTube channel and website:Http://YouTube.com/RafaelDiFuriaHttp://RafaelDiFuria.com#italiancitizenship #citizenshipbydescent #juresanguinis
