Question 1

How long does document research and organization take?

Accepted Answer

For straightforward cases, our document research and organization work is often completed within 8–12 weeks. This is based on reported client experiences and depends on document availability. It does not represent the processing time for an Italian citizenship application, which is determined solely by Italian authorities. More complex cases with missing documents can take considerably longer.

Question 2

What documents are required?

Accepted Answer

At minimum: birth, marriage, and death records for every person in your Italian line, from your ancestor to you, plus your ancestor's naturalization records (or proof they never naturalized). Non-Italian documents must be apostilled and translated.

Question 3

Do you guarantee citizenship?

Accepted Answer

No, and no one honestly can. Italian citizenship is granted only by Italian authorities. We focus on preparing the strongest, most complete file possible so your case has the best chance of success.

Question 4

Are you a law firm?

Accepted Answer

No. We are an administrative support and document research service. We do not provide legal advice, do not determine eligibility, and do not represent you in legal proceedings.

Question 5

Can you obtain records from Italy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We correspond in Italian with comuni, parish archives, and state archives throughout Italy to source your ancestor's records in the correct format required by your consulate.

Question 6

Can you help with translations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We coordinate certified Italian translations through translators recognized by the Italian consulates in Canada. You never have to manage the handoff yourself.

Question 7

What if documents are missing?

Accepted Answer

Missing records happen — church fires, wartime losses, transcription errors. We know the workarounds: parish books, negative-search certificates, and secondary sources that consulates will accept.
