Official Italian documents retrieved directly from the competent authorities for citizenship by descent applications.
I focus on obtaining Italian records. You provide the person and the relevant place or Comune; I handle the document request with the competent Italian office. I do not offer ancestry or family-tree research.
Estratti and certified copies issued by the Italian Comune, including multilingual formats where available and appropriate.
Baptismal or parish records, with contact with parish or diocesan offices when civil records are unavailable or another record is needed.
Short, source-based information on documents commonly requested, the 2025 citizenship changes and possible Comune fees for historical records. General information only, not legal advice.
A simple overview of documents that may be requested, with a reminder to follow your Consulate’s current checklist.
A brief note on the 2025 changes and why individual eligibility must be checked with the competent authority.
A simple explanation of possible Comune contributions for certain civil-status records over 100 years old.
Send the information you already have. I review it first, clarify any name or spelling variants, and tell you whether I can take the request before you pay anything.
Send the person's details, Comune, document type and any records you already have. No payment is required at this stage.
If I can take the case, I will confirm the scope and price in writing. You decide whether to proceed. Only after your express confirmation and the $40 Case Opening Fee do I begin paid retrieval work.
I contact the competent office in Italy and follow the procedure required by that authority. If the office requires a signed authorization, copy of your ID or an official fee, I will contact you before proceeding with that requirement.
For a single document, the remaining $100 service balance becomes due once it is obtained. Delivery is then arranged.
$40 Case Opening Fee, charged only after I accept the case and you expressly confirm that you want me to proceed. It covers the initial paid work required to open and begin handling the case and is credited toward the service total. For multiple documents, the service remains priced per document and a discount may be agreed. Fees charged by a Comune, parish, Diocese/Curia or other issuing authority — including stamp duties or contributions where required — are separate and paid by the client. International shipping is $20 when I arrange delivery by Poste Italiane international registered mail. If you prefer to arrange your own courier, you organize and pay the courier directly and no $20 shipping charge is due to me.

No. This is a document retrieval service. You should already have enough information to identify the person and the relevant Italian Comune or place.
There is no fixed completion time. Response times depend on the Comune, archive, parish or diocesan office handling the request.
No. Comune contributions, stamp duties and fees charged by parishes, dioceses or other issuing authorities are separate and remain the client’s responsibility.
