I need the birth certificates of my Italian ancestors in order to obtain Italian citizenship.
I need the birth certificates of my Italian ancestors in order to obtain Italian citizenship. In order to receive an authenticated copy of a document present in this site you need to contact the local State Archive that holds that file: you may find the contact information in the section Browse the Archives. The authenticated copies, also called certified copies, are copies of the certificates issued by a Public Authority, which ensures its authenticity in accordance with the terms stipulated by Art. 18 DPR 445/2000. Please remember that in order to receive an authenticated copy of a certificate you will have to pay an administrative fee, unless the purpose of your request (which you have to declare in order to obtain the copy) is exempt from payment. You may verify if your purpose is exempt from payment or not at the “Annex B” of DPR no. 642 of October 26, 1972. -
I want to reconstruct my family history, but I don’t know how to start the research.
Per effettuare una ricerca nella documentazione dello stato civile è necessario conoscere, oltre l’anno, anche il luogo di origine. In assenza di altri indizi è consigliabile tentare di individuare in quali comuni è diffuso un determinato cognome, sfogliando le banche dati dei nomi tratte dai registri di stato civile interrogabili nella sezione Cerca per nome o cercando in altre banche dati, quali:- Mappadeicognomi
- Cognomix
- Contacognome di Pagine bianche
- Family Search
