I have previoulsy held an Italian passport (I currently hold a UK passport). Can I get one again? [closed]
I was born in the UK to Italian immigrant parents and held an Italian passport until my mid-twenties. At this point I decided to get a British passport. The Italian passport expired and I never bothered to renew it as I didn't think I would need two separate passports for the European Union. With Brexit looming, I am now wondering if I can renew the Italian passport and also obtain one for my UK born children? My husband is English. How do I go about obtaining a new Italian passport after such a long gap? I've been married since my Italian passport expired so don't even have the same name.

As Long as you can still prove you're an Italian citizen (for which purpose an expired Italian passport surely helps), you're perfectly eligible for an Italian passport and ID card
