Mother: Your mother was an Italian citizen at the time of your birth, you were born after January 1st, 1948 and you never renounced your right to Italian citizenship. If citizenship is acquired by birth in your country and you meet all these conditions, you qualify for Italian citizenship jure sanguinis. You must obtain certified copies of the following documents:

Your mother's birth certificate from Italy.
Your father's birth certificate
Your parents' marriage certificate (If married outside of Italy, you will need an apostille and a translation into Italian.)
Your parents' divorce decree/certificate, if applicable (with apostille and translation)
Your mother's certificate of naturalization OR statement of "No Records" OR Alien Registration Card - Green Card
Your birth certificate (with apostille and translation)
Your mother's death certificate, if applicable (with apostille and translation)
Your father's death certificate, if applicable
Your marriage certificate, if applicable (with apostille and translation)
Your divorce decree/certificate, if applicable (with apostille and translation)
Your spouse's birth certificate, if applicable
Birth certificates for all your children under the age of eighteen, if applicable (with apostille and translation)

All certificates must be new “CERTIFIED COPY” a.k.a. “LONG FORM” or “FULL FORM” OR “BOOK COPY” (not “abstract”). These certificates must be obtained from the Office of Vital Statistics of the County or from the State Vital Statistics Office in which the birth/marriage/death took place. Certificates reporting only the “County” of birth will not be accepted. You must request that the Vital Statistics Authority state the CITY OF BIRTH.

If your mother became a naturalized citizen before your birth, you are not entitled to Italian citizenship jure sanguinis unless you fit into another category.
