The most common reason citizenship applications stall: translations made in the US are rejected in Italy.

Italian municipalities require translations sworn before an Italian court by a translator based in Italy. Hundreds of applicants each year spend months assembling their document package, only to have the comune or consulate reject the translations at submission. A US-certified translation — even apostilled — does not satisfy this requirement.

Natalia is a CTU — a court-appointed expert formally registered with Italian tribunals. Her sworn translations are accepted by every Italian comune, consulate, and court without question. She also knows that every authority has its own specific formatting requirements, and prepares each document set accordingly.

If you need a genealogist, a citizenship lawyer, or a notary, she will refer you to her vetted network — free of charge, with no commission arrangement.
