Step 2: Requesting Birth, Marriage and Death Certificates from Italy ($49 USD for the first, $39 USD for each additional)

The fee for the first certificate is $49 USD and includes Standard Shipping (see below). The fee for each additional certificate is $39 USD. ICGS can conduct a maximum of two searches for each certificate requested (using different dates or a different city, for example) at no additional charge. If ICGS is unable to locate the certificate after the first search, you can request a refund LESS $25 USD per certificate for the research. It is not possible to request a refund after the second search. If more than two searches are necessary, the fee is $25 USD for each additional (third, fourth, etc.) search. Though ICGS contacts the appropriate Italian authority within a few days of your request, the response time varies from city to city. In most cases, requested certificates are received in two to ten weeks. Orders for certificates from more than one city will not be shipped until all requested certificates have been received.

You must have these certificates for your citizenship application. ICGS recommends dividing these costs among parents and/or siblings who are going through this process with you. You have two options for shipping, regardless of the number of documents requested.

Express Shipping Certificates are shipped from Italy to our distribution center in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada in two business days via UPS. Certificates are then shipped via CanadaPost Xpress Mail, which includes shipping insurance and a tracking number (which ICGS will send to you). Certificates arrive in 1-2 business days to addresses in Canada, and in 3-5 business days to addresses in the USA, the European Union, Australia and most countries in Central and South America. The fee is $15 USD to any address in the USA and $25 USD to any other destination in the world.

Standard Shipping Certificates are shipped from Italy to our distribution center in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada in two business days via UPS. Certificates are then shipped via CanadaPost AirMail, which includes neither shipping insurance nor a tracking number. Certificates arrive in 2-3 business days to addresses in Canada, and in 4-7 business days to addresses in the USA, the European Union, Australia and most countries in Central and South America. There is no charge for Standard Shipping, which is included in the $49 USD fee for the first certificate requested.
