I requested my grandfather's birth certificate from Italy by following your step by step instructions. It took over 4 months, but it worked! Thank you SO MUCH for your clear and easy instructions.
I followed your tutorial and I can’t believe I got my birth certificate in 2 months I sent out for it May 27 and I received it July 27 by following your tutorial. Thank you so much for being a great help.
This video is very, very helpful. It clarified a number of my questions. Thanks for providing this information. I will definitely be reading your blog!
sadly the links are to an unclaimed godaddy site. Is your site defunct? I'd love a proper link to the birth record application form. Your videos are the best I've found and I'm so grateful for your guidance!!
Since the website is no longer available, you can find the application form at it.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/67/2016/05/ACS-certificato-nascita.pdf
Do you have similar information on how to submit a request for marriage certificate? I imagine it would go to the same office if they were married in the same town they were born. Also, do you believe enclosing a letter along with the application form is necessary?
I do have a quick question. My husband is Italian, so I am requesting his birth certificate. Do I need to check the box "Certificato di nascita" or Estratto dell'atto....?
if you do not follow nature's god then go ahead and get a birth certificate however you see fit. i think citizenship should be naturally born, though. not artificially controlled through entitlements that are forced upon people according to bloodlines or territorial birthrights.
Very jealous of seeing people get their documents quickly. I mailed my request to Enna, Sicily in June 2019 and JUST received it today, February 26, 2020. Patience is evidently key here lol
I love your informative videos. I did as you said and received an email with the birth certificate. No hard copy sent to me. Oddly, the date is wrong. Unless my grandma didn't know her real birthday:) I would really like a hardcopy. Do they do it by email now????
Ciao ciao - Comune of Palermo website: www.comune.palermo.it/ Should have all the relevant info that you need :) All request forms can be found here: diyitaliancitizenship.com/requesting-records-from-italy/
Thank you for your videos. I have found them to be very helpful. I do however have a question. I plan on obtaining my Italian Dual Citizenship as does my daughter. My question is in regards to my daughter's application. Does she have to go back to my paternal grandfather, or can she apply based on my citizenship after I receive it. Thank you in advance for your help!
Hey! this is so useful info. I actually did get the papers for my great grand father a while ago but it is asking to be legalized by the curia and the prefettura. Can I just assume that it ? (its got a stamp on it, I ordered the papers years ago so Im not sure if this is something new for the application! ( really dont know if youre gonna find this questions and have time to answer but if you do I will be forever grateful!)
I love your videos. Unlike other videos on the same topic, you actually give a clear and concise path to take in order to obtain duel citizenship. I do have a question, but first here is my situation. My grandfather immigrated to the United States and my mother, his daughter was born in the U.S. before he became a citizen of the United States, so I need the original Naturalization document as well as his original birth certificate from Italy, I understand that, but do I need the original birth certificates for my mother and I? Also, are all of these important documents sent back to me after the process is complete? Thanks in advance for your help.
The documents are not sent back to you and depending on the consulate where you are applying, they will not accept photocopies of your documents. So it's important to order extra official documents so you can keep the originals. Hope that helps! I just found that out today as well.
This is wonderful information! However, I am still confused-- they pay for return postage? Sounds expensive for them. Do you know how much it was gifted by them?
I tried to get these documents for my brother in law but crickets! There is a rumor the cognome was changed but the birth date and commune are correct. Now, it may require an in person visit? Also read that they want email only through PEC. Any suggestions?
HI I am trying to follow your directions for locating the province and commune for my grandfather from a certificato di nasciita. The best I can make out from the italian script is the Commune of Girgenti Capio Provenzia. This however does not lead me to the commune address when I follow your directions!
Thank you for the information ..my husband needs his birth certificate from Sicily Italy..Is it the same process...I need help...wit this process...thank you...
Wow! Very helpful video. Unfortunately, when I went to the communi-italiani website the comune shown on Wikipedia was not listed. I saw some similar ones. The town my grandfather is from is Corigliano, Calabro. On Wikipedia it shows the Province as Cosenza, and the Comune as Corigliano-Rossano. But the closest thing I can find on the above mentioned website is Comune di Corigliano Calabro. Help me please!
Thank you!!! This was very helpful!! I was just wondering if I would be able to send an email attaching the necessary information instead of sending it in an envelope?
You can try as well. But I attempted to contact the comunes and no success. Imma give it a try and send normal mail. Since in my case, the comune and town are really small.
This information is wonderful. I followed the instructions and it worked! However, it was an abstract of the original birth certificate and what I really wanted, in addition to the birth certificate, is an address of the house where they lived. Is there anyway to write back asking for this information? thank you-

thank you very much for your videos. I am looking for the birth record of an Italian citizen born in Tunis. I have with me the person passport, but no Italian comune is written there. apart from that, I have all the information, the exact birth date, names of parents, name of the town. do you have any idea where should I send the application to?
What is the best source to use to look for the town of birth for an ancestor that was born very late 1800s (1893) in Potenza and came to the U.S. sometime between 1902 and 1911 and was naturalized in 1945. Thank you in advance.
All I know is that my grandfather's family was from outside of Palermo, Sicily. But where would that be. How many possibilities will I have to eliminate before finding the right place. Can you help me?
Hi! thank you, this is very clear. Question! How do I do this if I moved to London, but I still have mi passport and id from Argentina (with the Argentina Address) and my letter is going to be sent from London? Does that matter at all? Where the letter comes from?
Hola Silvina! Estoy en la mismaaa! Lo hiciste al final? Creo la solución seria mandar el sobre de regreso con la dirección en London. Avisame que hiciste y si te llegó!
I only have a passport and the address listed is not my current mailing address. Will that be a problem in obtaining documents? Perhaps I can explain that in the letter.. what are your thoughts?
Please could you help me or advise me. My Grandfather was born in Cerasi Reggio Calabria which it says falls under the Comune of Reggio Calabria. I have emailed them several times now for a more than a year but no luck in getting the Bith Certificate, which address would you suggest I use instead to send them a Letter by Snail mail?Grazie Mille🙏
I have my grandparents marriage license which gives my grandfather's city of birth in Italy. I have a friend that lives in Italy who is trying to locate my grandfather's birth certificate for me. He recently contacted me and said that there was no birth in that city under my grandfather's name. Is this common in Italy when trying to find records?
Hello! My mother sent me a copy of a fax she received from the Ufficio - Stato Civile from San Mauro Forte. It is directed toward her at a hotel in Italy. The fax is notarized at the bottom, dated 27 March 2001. It contained the birth certificates for both of our ancestors (great-grandparents) that immigrated to the US, and the birth certificate for my great-great grandmother on my great -grandfather's side. Is this good enough for documentation for dual-citizenship? I went onto the website listed above, and I could not find the document to fill out (only ads for vital-records, etc).
Is there any website that shows what the birth certificates looked like at the time? e.g. looking for an Italian Birth Certificate from Gualdo Tadino, Perguia in 1888 - what would the Birth Certificate look like?
I was born in California and my father was born in Italy and is only an Italian citizen and never became a US citizen. I am just beginning to look into the dual citizenship process and I don't know what to do after I request his birth record. What next since he is not a US citizen.
My two grown sons and I are seeking Italian citizenship thru my grandfather who immigrated to the United States from Italy in/about 1905. We think we are eligible: --My grandfather immigrated in 1905 according to Ancestry records. He became nationalized sometime between 1930 and 1940 according to those two censuses. In 1930 he was AL, in 1940 NA. --My father was born in 1910 in Ohio. My dad did serve in the US Navy during WWII and he was asked by his Sicilian family, perhaps in the mid 1960's, to sign over a small house in Bagheria to relatives living there. I don't know if military service or if the transfer of the deed to the property would require that he relinquish the right to Italian citizenship. We want to be sure about that before we go much further... or, we accept the risk and get busy obtaining documents! I have a couple of questions. 1) We haven't been able to obtain an appointment with the consulate. For me, in Oregon, the appointment should be in San Francisco. For our son, who resides in Orange County, California, the appointment should be in Los Angeles, and for our other son, the appointment should be in New York. But, shouldn't we apply together? Is that possible? What would the consulates prefer? 2) I am attempting to get the birth certificate for my grandfather. I know I am to write to the Ufficio di Stato Civile in the comune where he was born. I have only Palermo as his birthplace. The provincia di Palermo has 82 comuni! What would you advise regarding this? I look forward to your reply. Thank you!
Did you ever find out what to do regarding the comune? I am in the same situation! I only know that he was from Palermo and can't find any documents online.
my search for the the provincia and comune isnt as easy as it is in your video. I have a provincia but no comune. anyway to send you a screen shot for help?
Hi, I recently sent a request for my grandfather's birth certificate after watching this. Thank You! It recently arrived at its destination in Italy. Question to anyone who did the same - Were you contacted by the Municipal you sent the information to? Did they confirm that they'd send you the birth certificate or did it just show up one day in the mail? Please give some context. Thank You!
I'm confused about an address to be used. My grandfather was born in Caltabellotta, comune, in the Provincia Agrigento, Sicily. I cannot find an address which will properly post from USA Can you help? Does the request go to Caltabellotta or Agrigento? Does anyone have the correct COMPLETE address?
Hallo I was born in Italy, and now I am 19 years old.. I just stayed in Italy for one month then my family and I have stayed out Italy until now. Is it anyway possible for me to get the Italian citizenship?
it's not possible to be born in italy or any other country. we learn about italy and other countries after we are already born. citizenship to italy should come naturally: as a matter of choice. you should not seek to betray nature's god by claiming to be entitled to italy, where others are not, according to blood or territorial birth markers.
I was astonished that of all the small hill towns in Italy you chose Musellaro for this example as my LIRA is from Musellaro, too. My other ancestors are from nearby Civitella Casanova and Salle. Are you Abruzzese?
Does anyone know if you need to request "mondello plurilingue" or the multilingual form in the request. I know on the video it says to check the "estratto" but the comune I'm working with asked if I need the modello plurilingue and I cannot find it anywhere. Thanks in advance for the help.
Are there any searchable sites within Italy for birth records? I have the name and date of birth of my ancestor, and generally know where he came from/grew up, but I'm not sure if he was born in that exact province. (Ayas / Aosta valley). I'd like to search his name within italian records somehow before sending a letter to the italian commune.
Your website is down and I was really hoping to use the person you recommended (I think it was on Fiverr?) to request the birth certificates for me. I tried to DIY months ago and got no response. Will your site be back up soon, or can you let us know the person you recommended on Fiverr?
I have a question, im totally ready to follow your advice and go this route, however, I have a question... Is it possible that children born on the crossing from Italy would not have an Italian or an American birth certificate as in not registered in either location?

Unable to download or reach the website for the form
Someone posted updated link above.
The link to the document does't work.
Not finding this form when I click on link...can you assist me, please?
Do you have an Instagram page so we can talk about the Italian citizenships? Cause I’m still sooo confused 🤷🏼♂️ Thanks a lot
I'm confused about an address to be used. My grandfather was born in Caltabellotta, comune, in the Provincia Agrigento, Sicily. I cannot find an address which will properly post from USA Can you help? Does the request go to Caltabellotta or Agrigento? Does anyone have the correct COMPLETE address?
I can't download the form. Could you please sent it to me?
Hallo
I was born in Italy, and now I am 19 years old.. I just stayed in Italy for one month then my family and I have stayed out Italy until now.
Is it anyway possible for me to get the Italian citizenship?
it's not possible to be born in italy or any other country. we learn about italy and other countries after we are already born. citizenship to italy should come naturally: as a matter of choice. you should not seek to betray nature's god by claiming to be entitled to italy, where others are not, according to blood or territorial birth markers.
I'm having a hard time linking to the Birth Record Application Form you have posted. Is it still available?
Is there not an email?
I was astonished that of all the small hill towns in Italy you chose Musellaro for this example as my LIRA is from Musellaro, too. My other ancestors are from nearby Civitella Casanova and Salle. Are you Abruzzese?
Does anyone know if you need to request "mondello plurilingue" or the multilingual form in the request. I know on the video it says to check the "estratto" but the comune I'm working with asked if I need the modello plurilingue and I cannot find it anywhere. Thanks in advance for the help.
Your website doesn't seem to exist anymore
you web site address does not work?
Can anyone tell me if you received your Birth Certificates with Apostille or without Apostille? Thank you.
A Birth certificate coming from Italy does not need to be Apostilled. Just keep the envelope it came in.
Link for form no longer works. Anyone have a new one?
Are there any searchable sites within Italy for birth records? I have the name and date of birth of my ancestor, and generally know where he came from/grew up, but I'm not sure if he was born in that exact province. (Ayas / Aosta valley). I'd like to search his name within italian records somehow before sending a letter to the italian commune.
Your website is down and I was really hoping to use the person you recommended (I think it was on Fiverr?) to request the birth certificates for me. I tried to DIY months ago and got no response. Will your site be back up soon, or can you let us know the person you recommended on Fiverr?
Hello! Yes, I've let it lapse, and am only keeping the channel alive :) Here you go: www.fiverr.com/avepally
I have a question, im totally ready to follow your advice and go this route, however, I have a question... Is it possible that children born on the crossing from Italy would not have an Italian or an American birth certificate as in not registered in either location?
Did you find out how to get a birth certificate for a child?
it seems like both links do not work for me
Thank you 💋🤗
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching, Mike!
