About this
service.
Which documents can I enquire about?
We can assess ancestors' birth, baptism and marriage records and the applicant's own documents. If primary records are missing, substitutes such as men's military records may be considered. Some cases also require the Italian ancestor's citizenship certificate.
Does a citizenship certificate grant citizenship?
No. The certificate proves an existing status; issuing it is different from a citizenship recognition process. Requesting the Italian ancestor's citizenship certificate applies to certain cases.
What is a Comune?
It is the Italian municipal administration. Depending on the case, it handles civil registration and issuing documents.
Are timelines or finding records guaranteed?
The work depends on records existing, requirements and authorities' timelines. Finding records or deadlines controlled by third parties cannot be promised.
