Good to know
Citizenship files
Every U.S. record in the line needs an apostille and an Italian translation. See Citizenship by descent.
Rules changed in 2025
Italy tightened its citizenship-by-descent rules in 2025. Confirm your eligibility with your consulate or an Italian attorney before ordering records.
Apostille on the translation?
Some consulates and comuni want the translation apostilled too. We can notarize and apostille it. See Italy.

When names don’t match across generations
Italian ancestors’ names were often anglicized after arrival, so a great-grandfather may be Giuseppe on an Italian birth record and Joseph on U.S. census, marriage and naturalization papers. Dates and places can also differ. Consulates can treat these as problems, so we translate each record exactly as written and flag differences early. Some can be explained with a one-and-the-same affidavit, and others need a court order correcting the record. Your consulate or an Italian attorney can tell you which.
