Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs Documents Translation

Which documents does the Directorate of Population and Citizenship Affairs issue?

It keeps the personal and family registry records. The most-translated registry-sourced documents for Italian applications:

• The civil registry extract (with/without events)
• The birth and marriage certificate
• The residence (settlement address) certificate

How is it used in an Italian application?

Registry documents are used to document the household in DSU/ISEE, the kinship in family reunion and residence, and the marital status in the visa file. For the full set of document types, see the document translations section.

How do you get the documents?

You can obtain the documents via e-Devlet or from any registry office; a certified extract is preferred for official procedures.

The apostille and certification process

The apostille on registry-sourced documents is taken through the relevant Governorate. Take the document, have it apostilled and have the sworn Italian translation made from the apostilled version.

What to watch

The names and surnames must match the Latin-letter spelling in the passport exactly; if the extract with events is requested, the one without events won’t do.
