from The Italian Citizenship Podcast · host Italian Citizenship Assistance

Italian citizens can use an Italian passport or identity card as official identification, but each document serves different practical purposes for travel, public services, and everyday life in Italy and the European Union. For people who receive recognition of Italian citizenship by descent, the application options may also depend on whether they reside in Italy or abroad and apply through an Italian consulate. In this episode of the Italian Citizenship Podcast hosted by Italian attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, we’ll learn more about the differences between an Italian electronic identity card and passport, including when each document may be needed.For help with the Italian citizenship process and more information about Italian Citizenship Assistance visit ICA's website:https://ItalianCitizenshipAssistance.comTo contact Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and his team of dual-citizenship experts and attorneys you can use the contact form on the Italian Citizenship Assistance website:https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/contact/To see more from  @RafaelDiFuria  about life in Italy and life as a dual-citizen expat check out his YouTube channel and website:Http://YouTube.com/RafaelDiFuriaHttp://RafaelDiFuria.com
