Documents in Argentina

Italian citizenship in Argentina: Documents

Documents are the core of an Italian citizenship application. Every generation in your line needs its own records, apostilled and translated.

What you need to know

  1. Your Italian ancestor's birth record, requested from the comune where they were born

  2. Proof of whether and when your ancestor naturalized in another country (a naturalization record or a no-record certificate)

  3. Birth, marriage and death records for every generation in the line

  4. A Hague apostille on every foreign document, plus an Italian translation

  5. Your valid ID or passport

Mainly: your Italian ancestor's birth record from the comune where they were born, a certificate showing they did not naturalize, and the birth, marriage and death records for the whole line, each with an apostille and an Italian translation.
