Italian Dual Citizenship

How to apply for Italian Dual Citizenship

Italian Dual Citizenship request will be easy with the help of our local researchers .
If you already tried by yourself, you already know that dealing from far with an Italian Public Administration to get the necessary certificates can be a real nightmare!
Many officers can’t speak English and usually they are quite busy to reply to the requests by mail.

Then, remember that officers are not required by law to conduct genealogy researches in the archives. So, if you have not an exact date of an event (for example the exact birthdate of your ancestor) the officers very likely will not search for the record you need for your application and you will waste your time waiting for a reply to your request.

To overcome these problems we suggest you to hire our local experts . They live in the area so they will contact directly the offices in your ancestors’ towns/villages on your behalf and they will easily and quickly manage the whole communication with the officers.
You will overcome the unavoidable problems that the language difference can cause with the local bureaucracy (expecially in small villages).
