Dual citizenship applications need supporting Italian documents, such as birth, marriage and death records.
Please note that My Italian Family will ONLY process requests to Town Halls and to State Archives, but NOT to Parish Churches. If you are interested in researching Parish Archives, we do recommend that you hire a professional genealogist in our Research Section.

Italian family records are not available online. Town Halls, State Archives, and Parish Churches keep their records in physical archives, which can either be viewed in person or by relying on the officials' s help to perform the research. Please note that there are a lot of discrepancies in the way the sources have archived records in the past. |

It is hard to say how long it may take to receive the document requested: usually it's about 4 to 8 weeks or more. Italian public sources will be solicited twice after 4 weeks, first by fax and then by telephone. After that, if we still have not received a reply, you can choose to resubmit a new request for the amount of US $45 per document ordered. |

DISCLAIMER: My Italian Family does not guarantee the result of the request that will be sent to Italian sources. In acting purely as an intermediary, it still relies on the work of officials who may or may not cooperate. Records may be kept in separate archives, may have changed location, or suffered damages, thus heavily reducing the chances of success.
The law regulating civil vital registration records allows the release of EXTRACTS of the original birth/marriage/death acts (Estratto per Riassunto dell'Atto di Nascita/Matrimonio/Morte) with complete details. This is the format requested by the Italian Consulate to process dual citizenship applications. |
