Translation service for Italian citizenship in Rome and in all of Italy
Guidelines for documents to be submitted for Italian citizenship
The offices responsible for acquiring documentation for obtaining Italian citizenship are generally the Police Headquarters and the Prefecture.
These offices require that the documentation certifying the status of the person making the application be authentic and legally valid in Italy.
This usually means producing these certificates:
- birth certificate
- criminal record
Let's see how these certificates should be presented, to simplify and optimize the process.
Birth Certificate / Foreign Birth Extract
This must be ORIGINAL and LEGALIZED in the country of issue.
- If the issuing country adheres to the Hague Convention, the Apostille on the original is sufficient
- If the issuing country does not adhere to this convention, it is necessary to legalise the certificate at the competent Italian Consulate
- If it is Belgium, France, Germany, Denmark, Ireland, Latvia, legalisation is not required
- If the certificate is issued on the multilingual model of the Vienna Convention, legalisation is not required
Once the legalization has been done, it is necessary to provide for itsSWORN TRANSLATION IN ITALY.
Translations made abroad will not be accepted..
Certificates issued by the consulate will not be accepted.
We would like to suggest that you obtain a birth certificate or extract withgeneral information, which therefore also contains the names of the parents (if available), in order to simplify the data acquisition process.
Citizenship by descent iure sanguinis (naturalization)
In this case it is necessary to produce the registry certificates (birth, death, marriage) of any ancestors who may be entitled to such naturalization:
- Original Birth Certificate (or Birth Certificate Extract) of the Italian immigrant.
- Negative naturalization certificate issued by the Ministry of Justice of the issuing country. Any changes in the name or surname must be legally rectified and recorded on the certificate.
- In cases where the deceased has lived in other countries, it will also be necessary to produce the negative naturalization certificate for each of them.
- Any marriage certificates.
- Any death certificates.
These certificates must always be inORIGINALAndLEGALIZEDin the issuing country.
Certificates issued by the consulate will not be accepted.
Once their legalization has been done, it is necessary to provide for theirSWORN TRANSLATION IN ITALY.
Translations made abroad will not be accepted..
Criminal Record Certificate (Criminal Record) abroad
A criminal record certificate from the applicant's country of origin must be provided, as well as from each country in which the applicant has resided and of which he or she holds citizenship.
This must be ORIGINAL and LEGALIZED in the country of issue.
The certificate follows the validity period of the issuing country (usually 6 months, but in some cases only 3 months).
We recommend that you verify that this certificate is within the expiry date when submitting the application to the Italian authorities.
Once the legalization has been done, it is necessary to provide for itsSWORN TRANSLATION IN ITALY.
Translations made abroad will not be accepted..
