For spouses of Italian citizens, obtaining dual nationality is a beautiful way to secure a shared European future. However, many applicants hit an immediate roadblock when they realize that proving B1-level proficiency in the Italian language is a mandatory legal requirement
Why You Can’t Use Standard Apps
You cannot simply show a certificate from a basic language app. The Italian Ministry of the Interior strictly requires an official certification from an institution recognized by the CLIQ (Certificazione Lingua Italiana di Qualità) association, such as:
- CILS (University for Foreigners of Siena)
- CELI (University for Foreigners of Perugia)
- PLIDA (Società Dante Alighieri)
If you submit an unapproved certificate, the online portal will reject your application, wasting your time and non-refundable state fees.
