Belong Italy

450 questions for the CILS B1 Cittadinanza, five a day, and a new Passport tab carrying your name on the document at the end of the road.

Italian citizenship takes years. Belong Italy keeps the count honest, from today to the day you can apply.

Answer a few questions and Belong Italy shows your real distance: which route applies, what you have met and what still stands between you and the decision. In English and Italian, switchable any time.

YOUR ROUTE, CLEARLY Ten years as the general rule, four for EU citizens, three if you were born in Italy, two on Italian descent since Law 74/2025, five for refugees and stateless people, and two after marriage

Every requirement explained: legal and continuous residence, Italian at B1, sufficient income and a clean record, each sourced from Law 91/1992, Law 74/2025 and the Ministero dell'Interno. You apply through the ministry's ALI portal. Rules as of September 2026

Recognition by descent, jure sanguinis, is signposted, not tracked. It runs through consulates, comuni and courts, not a residence clock

THE PASSPORT AT THE END The document your road leads to, on its own tab: the real cover in colour, with validity, fee, where to apply and dual citizenship, checked with the authority and linked to its source

Add your name and photo and it carries them as the holder's, with a line saying the earliest you could apply

PRACTISE THE EXAM YOU ACTUALLY SIT Italy has no citizenship test. It has a language exam, and this app drills the half you can drill: 450 questions for the CILS B1 Cittadinanza reading and structures paper, five a day, with a mistakes deck and a progress screen

Its other three abilità are listening, writing and speaking. They are listed too, greyed out, because no multiple choice bank rehearses them and you should see the whole exam

No mock, deliberately. The Università per Stranieri di Siena publishes no question count for the paper, so this app will not invent a test shape to time you against. The questions are ours, in Italian with an English study line one tap away

WHAT'S COMING The dates ahead, on your dashboard: your residence time completing, another year behind you, a document about to expire. Optional alerts, a few a year

YOUR DOCUMENTS, ON YOUR IPHONE Attach the evidence for each requirement, a certificate, a permit, a payslip, with an expiry date. Documents stay on this iPhone, encrypted by iOS while it is locked and kept out of your backup. Belong Italy never uploads them and never sees them

TRACK WHAT MATTERS Log trips abroad against continuous residence. Italian law fixes no day count, so Belong Italy flags a stay over six months as a risk to your anagrafe registration instead of inventing a deduction

Your language proof, spelled out: a B1 certificate from CILS, CELI, PLIDA, CERT.IT or Ce.Co.L. One from any other school or app does not count

Try a What if scenario and see how a decision would move your finish line. Real rules on a copy, nothing saved

WHAT YOU CONTROL, WHAT YOU DON'T The years you build, the certificate you earn and the record you keep are yours. The queue is not: the legal window is 24 months, extendable to 36, and many prefectures use most of it

DUAL CITIZENSHIP Italy has allowed it since 1992 and asks nobody to renounce. Whether your home country lets you keep its nationality depends on its own law

COMING UP News with The Local Italy is in the works, delivered inside the app

HONEST BY DESIGN No fake finish dates. Belong Italy tells you what is in your hands, what is not and what the next step is. It is a tracker, not legal advice: verify your case with the Ministero dell'Interno, your comune or a lawyer. hello@belongeurope.com
