I'm also trying to get the documents needed which is difficult. My Great-GrandFather was naturalized in 1916 and my grandfather was born in 1912. Thank goodness or else I would not be able to apply.
It is a lot of work though.
I have a question for the apostille. Do all the documents get a apostille or just some ? I get mixed answers from different websites about Italian citizenship.

All the documents that are not in Italian get an apostille with the exception of the naturalization documents.

Hi,
The way I'm reading the instructions from the LA consulate, only the documents on the "Italian side" need to be translated and have an Apostille. I understand that to be my birth and marriage certificates; my father's birth, death and marriage certificates; my grandfather's death and marriage certificates and my grandmother's death certificate(the last two were born in Italy). Am I reading it wrong?
I'm running into the usual glitches. My Grandfather's birth certificate arrived from Noci in less than three weeks. His Mother's last name is typed "Morea". On his marriage certificate the cursive looks like it's "Moria". I don't expect that to be a problem.
I received a reply from Montecorvino Pugliano in the same time telling me that they have no record of my Grandmother's birth (Benedetta Romano, 12/09/1883), but they have record and sent me a copy of her sister's birth certificate(Maria Letizia Romano, 16/05/1887). I've sent an inquiery to Montecorvino Ravello. Do you have any suggestions if I strike out there?
By the way, after more than six weeks, I'm still waiting for my father's birth certificate from NYC.

You should check with the consulate first, there are a few that obtain them for you (Boston for example). Some states charge quite a lot for Apostilles, asking the consulate first could save you hundreds of $$$.mler wrote:All the documents that are not in Italian get an apostille with the exception of the naturalization documents.
We must remember, every inch of the process (before submitting to Italy) differs consulate to consulate.
