Italian Translation Services for Citizenship & Legal Use
Applying for Italian citizenship often involves ensuring your documents are translated correctly and formatted for the office reviewing your application.
ITAMCAP provides professional Italian translation services that support individuals pursuing Italian dual citizenship, residency matters, and other matters that require documents translated into Italian from the English language. All documents are handled by experienced Italian translators who understand the expectations of consulates, courts, and municipalities.
Why Accurate Italian Translations Are Important
For most citizenship applications, foreign records must be translated into Italian before they can be reviewed. This applies to vital records and other legal paperwork used during the Italian citizenship process.
Italian authorities expect translations to be:
- Complete and faithful to the original document
- Written in proper legal Italian, not literal or automated language
- Prepared according to the specific translation requirements of the filing office
Even minor errors such as misspelled names, incorrect dates, or unclear terminology can lead to requests for corrections, re-submission, or delays. High-quality translations help your application move forward without unnecessary setbacks.
It’s also important to distinguish between:
- Italian apostille requirements, which legalize the original document (under the Hague Convention of 1961), and
- Document translation, which allows Italian officials to review foreign records in the target language.
An apostille and a translation serve different purposes, and one does not replace the other. While an apostille itself does not need to be translated, apostille document translation refers to translating the underlying foreign record, allowing Italian authorities to review the document’s contents in the Italian language.

Translation Types Explained
Different authorities require different formats. We help determine which type applies to your case.
Simple Translations
Used for informational or personal purposes where formal certification is not required.
Certified Translation
A certified translation includes a statement confirming accuracy and completeness. These are commonly requested by applicants who need to provide certified Italian translations for dual citizenship and other submissions to a consulate.
Sworn Translation
Completed by a sworn translator (traduttori giurati), these are formally sworn before an Italian court or authorized official. These are often required when documents are filed directly in Italy or reviewed by an Italian municipality. When applicable, we coordinate sworn translations for Italian consulates or in-Italy filings.
Other Translation Services
ITAMCAP also provides Italian translation services for non-citizenship needs. Clients may request document translation for international travel, obtaining a medical second opinion, or maintaining translated records for personal or professional documentation.
These translations are prepared with the same attention to accuracy, clarity, and confidentiality, regardless of purpose.

FAQs
Do all documents need to be translated for Italian citizenship?
Most foreign records submitted with a citizenship application must be translated into Italian so they can be reviewed by the appropriate authorities. The exact requirements depend on where you apply and which documents are requested. Apostilles themselves do not need to be translated, but the underlying foreign document that has been apostilled generally must be translated into Italian. If you’re unsure which documents must be translated into Italian for your case, contact us for guidance.
Can you translate naturalization documents?
Yes. We regularly translate naturalization documents and related records for Italian citizenship applications. Many Italian consulates in the United States accept naturalization records in the English language and do not require an Italian translation, but requirements can vary. If you’re unsure whether your naturalization document needs to be translated, we recommend contacting ITAMCAP before proceeding.
What is the difference between a certified translation and a sworn translation?
A certified translation includes a declaration of accuracy and is commonly used for Italian consulate filings. A sworn translation is formally sworn before an Italian court and is often required for applications filed in Italy.
How long does the Italian translation process take?
Timing depends on document length, volume, and whether certification or swearing is required. We provide estimated timelines after reviewing your documents.
Are medical and vaccination records kept confidential?
Yes. All documents translated, including medical and vaccination records, are handled securely and confidentially.
Can ITAMCAP help with apostilles and translation requirements?
We assist with document translation coordination and explain how apostilled documents and translations work together for Italian use.
