I'm working on gathering all my documents for Jure Sanguinis. What should a translated birth certificate and marriage certificate look like?
I sent three documents to be translated and two came back as a replica of the original certificate but in Italian. The third came back as a word document in ...

I grew up with Pizza Fritte too. My son just told me today that he is looking forward to having them on Thanksgiving. We fry them up and then either salt them or put powdered sugar on them. My grandfather used to put gravy on them and eat them with his spaghetti.

If anyone has their paperwork complete and is just waiting on an appt in Miami there are appt times open on the 30th. I was just browsing to see if I could get an earlier appt and saw it open.

Can I add my granddaughter to my application? She is 13 months old and I've had custody of her since she was born.

She does live in the same consulate jurisdiction. She wants to go with me for the appointment to hand in my documents.

Yes, I adopted her in July of 2005 when she was 9 yrs old.

I have another question. I'm applying through my great grandfather>grandfather>mother. My mother and her father were born here in the US. Can my mother get her Italian citizenship recognized with my application or does she need to apply on ...

My mother is the only female in my direct line. I'm going through her father and grandfather.

I was married in 1985 and divorced in 2001. I have two adult children from that marriage. I remarried in 2004 to my husband and I adopted his daughter. She is 22 yrs old now. We adopted our 12 yr old from China in 2007. I just called the court to get my youngest daughters adoption decree but will I ...

I certainly don't want any issues going forward. We plan on retiring in Italy and my daughter will move with us. We are older parents and retirement is only a few years away. I called the court and the lady that handles all adoptions will call me back today to let me know what I need to obtain. Do ...

I've been searching this board for hours but can't find a similar situation. We adopted our daughter from China. We have Chinese birth certificate and adoption certificate. When we returned to New Jersey we applied to re-adopt her. By doing this she has a NJ birth certificate with my husband and ...

When you say they don't care about the female side do you mean they don't care if the grandmothers' birth certificates has an apostille or that you didn't have it at all? Did those documents still needed to be translated?

The document guide that I printed out says my maternal grandmother and my ...

Can you establish residency in NY? Rent an apartment within the district, change your drivers license and mailing address (Get a UPS box, it comes with a real street address) and then apply at the NY consulate. That has to be a LOT easier and less expensive than going to Italy.

To piggy back on the original question: I'm filing for jure sanguinis through GGF, GF, Mother, Me. I'm the one that was divorced. Do I need my divorce decree and letter of no contest too?

That sounds like too much work lol..

My ggrandfather was Pietro and changed to Peter.

Is it possible to take an American name and Italian-ize it with new Italian citizenship? My husband is Mark, can he change his name to Marco? We already have an Italian last name. Could I change my American first name to sound more Italian? We plan ...
