We do not only deal with this bureaucratic procedure, but with many others, since sometimes even obtaining a document can become an odyssey.
While on italiani.it you can enjoy many interesting contents about our magnificent country, from gastronomy to culture in general, passing through places to visit and excellences, at SUIM we are here to underline the importance of applying for Italian citizenship, where it is necessary to present documents validating the applicant’s lineage.
A fundamental element is to obtain a complete copy of the birth certificate translated into Italian, which is an essential document for carrying out an identification and certification process of the applicant’s data abroad. It is a priority to present the birth certificate in original format, accompanied by official translations and appropriate legalizations, such as the apostille for countries adhering to the Hague Convention of October 5, 1061, or legalizations at the embassy of countries not adhering to the convention.
When the information provided is complete, the investigation process becomes faster and the costs of the procedures are lower and vary depending on the specificity of the data requested.
At SUIM you can count on a wide range of services to request essential certificates for various administrative needs. You can request birth certificates; marriage certificates; residence certificates or copies or self-certifications; family status certificates or copies or self-certifications; among other certificates.
