Certificates from Canosa Sannita for Italian Citizenship

Obtaining the correct Italian civil certificates is a mandatory step in the Italian citizenship by descent application process.
If one of your ancestors was born in Canosa Sannita, Chieti province, Abruzzo, and you need his/her birth, marriage, or death certificate issued by the Italian competent authority, the necessary documentation must be requested from the local Civil Registry Office (Ufficio di Stato Civile).

Applicants often use the word “records” when referring to Italian documents.
However, for citizenship purposes, ONLY official certificates are required. These certificates are issued today by the Civil Registry Office based on the original civil records preserved in municipal archives.
