Which documents do I need for my citizenship application?
The documents required for your citizenship application start with your own documents up to your Italian ancestor (direct bloodline).
For example, if your Italian ancestor is your great-great-grandparent, you will need to issue, translate and apostille the below documents. Amendment will be required if there are any errors.
- Your own birth and marriage certificates
- Your parent's birth, marriage and death certificates
- Your grandparent's birth, marriage and death certificates
- Your great-grandparent's birth, marriage and death certificates
- Your Italian great-great-grandparent's birth, marriage and death certificates, as well as their naturalization status records
* All civil records must be provided in long-form only.
** Divorce records, if applicable, are also required for all generations.
*** Marriage certificate have a 6-month validity.
How can we help?
Procuring your documents for you
We are here to assist you in procuring all the necessary civil records required for your Italian citizenship application as well as your ancestor's naturalization status records in your home country. Just tell us where we can procure them and we'll do that for you. All certificates must be provided in long-form only.
We can also procure your Italian ancestor's documents. Our team on the ground covers Italy's whole territory to ensure that we can locate your ancestor's vital records and help you get it delivered as soon as possible.
Submitting your documents for amendment
Correcting discrepancies and erros in your own and your relatives' documents can be a time-consuming task. It's usually the function of the vital statistics office, which is responsible for issuing the record, to amend/correct discrepancies, but a court order might be required to process the amendment in records of deceased individuals, especially in some American states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massachusetts, and New York.
This is where Passport-Euro comes into play with our specialized support to guide you throughout your whole amendment process, ensuring time efficiency and the best option for you.
Sworn or certified translations
We provide professional sworn or certified translation services in case you need to translate any of your documents from any language to Italian.
The service's pricing depends on the Italian documents requiring translation, and we usually have a set price per type of certificate or adopt a per-page price for other documents.
We can translate your documents either in your home country or in Italy, whichever we consider more cost efficient for you.
Apostille or legalization
An Apostille is required to certify the authenticity of the signature and stamps on your vital records and documents. All certificates/documents issued in your home country must be duely apostilled for your citizenship application at a town hall in Italy or at a local consulate.
But worry not! We are here to review all your documents, make sure they are correct, and guide you so you can submit them to the right authorities for the Apostille authentication. Apostilles do not need to be translated.
