It becomes part of your De Jure, when is not Vassals will pay less Taxes and Levies as you are not their De Jure Liege (plus a relationship malus), it also changes who can Claim with a CB.

Let's imagine the situation you're in early game. You have confederate partition, i.e. all your stuff splits on succession (there are workarounds but that's beside the point).

At the moment you can't afford having two kingdoms as one of them would split to your other son. And you're not strong enough yet to become emperor and have kings as vassals.

In this case you can capture some lands from another kingdom and have them slowly integrated to be a part of your de jure kingdom.

For example you're England and captured some parts of Wales. Like 33% of Wales, because as soon as you're eligible to actually usurp/create a second kingdom game creates it for you as per confederate partition.

So you're England with 33% of Wales. De Jure these 33% are not part of England so you barely get any taxes from them. So by integrating them you make them De Jure part of England so you don't need to have kingdom of Wales to actually get full taxes from these lands.

Makes sense?

Poster Harris explains it well above. Although I personally never use the integrate as it takes way too long.

Thank you Harris, great explanation

Note that if you hold a kingdom title, any kingdom title, then any duchy titles in your realm not part of your primary kingdom will slowly turn into De Jure parts of it regardless of wether you integrate or not. This process takes 100 years naturally and is only cancelled by you gaining a higher title, aka empire.
