My Italian Family really knows what they are doing and are very thorough. They helped me and my son get our Italian citizenship and presented the finalized documents to take to the Italian consulate in a very organized folder. Getting Italian Citizenship is a lengthy process and will not happen overnight but My Italian Family team will make sure it happens!
My Italian Family does NOT guarantee the results of the request that will be sent to the Italian public sources. In acting purely as an intermediary, we still rely 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 reducing the chances of success. The most common reason for failure is the result of a customer asking us to request an individual document to the wrong town of origin.

It is hard to say how long it may take to receive the document requested, as it depends on the individual comune handling the request. Average time to complete is 3-6 months, but by law they have up to 6 months to fulfill the order. Ultimately, you will either receive the record(s) requested or a notification of No Record Found.
US $500 processing fee to request each individual Birth, Marriage, Death, Certificate Positive/Negative, and Certificate of Citizenship Records. REMEMBER: The Italian Consulate will not return the Italian documents you submit with your application. You can buy one or more additional copies if more than one family member is applying with you or to keep as an heirloom.
When you order a document, My Italian Family will do the following:
Parish Churches: Please note that My Italian Family will ONLY process requests to Town Halls (for Birth/Marriage/Death Records and Certificate of Citizenship Records) and to State Archives (for Military Records), but NOT to Parish Churches.
