Lose of nationality after divorce

[Bastaria]

I married an Italien man about 16 years ago and took the Italien Nationality. We have been living around the world and just returned about 5 years ago. Can my husband request the nullification of my italien nationality after divorce?.

Thanks for any information.

Hello,
the Italian law says that you have to be married with an Italian citizen at least for 3 years to get the Italian citizenship from marriage, after that no one can take out your Italian citizenship,

Thanks Ricardo, but then why do I need the consent or the presence of my husband when I want to renew my Passport, as requested by Local Authority?.

Usually local authority need the presence of your husband to renew the Italian passport if you have minor children

Just to confirm: You need to be married to an Italian to obtain Italian citizenship, but once you have it, it is yours permanently unless you renounce it. You ex-husband has no input on this.

Just to confirm...
No, he can't. If, at the moment of the request of the citizenship, you had the rights to be Italian citizen, you cannot loose it until YOU decide to renounce.
He can't do anything about it.

"Usually local authority need the presence of your husband to renew the Italian passport if you have minor children"
Not anymore. And anyway, if they had minor children and they are entrusted by a tribunal to her, she will need only the judge permission.
But actually, in Italy, you don't need these papers too.
