It is difficult to say as each comune does their own thing so to speak. You should get a certified original document. What did they say in their email? You may want to send them a letter with a envelope per-addressed and posted and request a paper copy.

You do not need a second apostille for your NY documents. I don't know about the divorce requirements however I can say that with my marriage certificate (NYC) I translated the the 2 pages and sent it to NY for authentication and they sent it back with a single page translation of their own. So abse...

There is no timetable for the process in that once you have a document it will not expire. Appointments on the other hand do vary as Italia1963 points out. At some consulates the wait time is short, several weeks to a few months, at others like NY the wait can be a year or more. If you don't have th...

Which consulate are you applying? I assume from your questions that you are not applying in NY but have documents that originate within NY's jurisdiction. If this is the case you do not have to have an Apostille on your translations. You would send your apostilled documents with translation to the N...

Your friend would be submitting a false application and obtaining citizenship improperly.

NY's email convention is firstname.lastname@esteri.it

I don't know anyone who has done this but there is no harm in trying if all of your documents are ready to go.

The letter of exemplification will state whether it is from the archives or Dept of Health. Supporting documents are the documents that you are relying on to justify the changes that you are making. For example if you want to change the name on a marriage certificate then you would probably provide ...

Philly is also one of the consulates that will authenticate the documents while you wait if you bring them to the consulate.

Based upon the lineage that you describe your nephew would also need a form for his GF. He will also need documents for him as well.

The two things are actually different. A certified translation refers to when a translator signs a statement certifying to the accuracy of the translation. Authentication of a document (sometimes referred to as legalizing) refers to the process where a consulate reviews the document, Apostille and t...

Congratulation!
