Hi,
I have a question regarding the request letter for the Birth Certificate from Sicily.
What is the correct name for the certificate to request?
On Circolo it states: “estratto dell’atto di nascita.â€
Requesting Birth Certificate
Re: Requesting Birth Certificate
I asked for "Estratto integrale dell'Atto di Nascita di XXX", and they sent me a photocopy of the actual birth record, with all the necessary stamps that indicated it was an official copy.
Good luck!

Molto Grazie Jerry.
Re: Requesting Birth Certificate
I requested "un estratto per riassunto dell'atto di nascita (copia integrale in carte legale)" from two comunes. I didn't receive anything that looked super official. After reading jwazevedo's post about a photocopy of the actual record, I am now questioning whether they would suffice or not. They have stamps and signatures.
For some reason I couldn't upload a PDF and the ZIP file of less than 400k was not allowed, said too large.
Here is a link to the PDF of two Italian birth certificates.

Please feel free to take a look and let me know what you think. Are these the correctly formatted birth certificates and will be acceptable at the consulate? Much appreciated.
I would also put out a general call for others to post some of their documents, redacted if necessary, to serve as examples and guidance for others.

Re: Requesting Birth Certificate
The document you uploaded is typical of what comes from many smaller comuni and will be fine for a jure sanguinis application.
Re: Requesting Birth Certificate
Thank you for checking out the documents. Both documents, on both pages are hand written in some template. I am relieved that they will work. I hope the examples will also help others.
Re: Requesting Birth Certificate
I have a question-I have sent two requests to the birth and marriage records office in Montemesola and it has been over 1 month with no response. I have typed out a letter in Italian with my request with names of my GGF and GGM (maiden name) along with approx. birth dates and location of their marriage. I am also sending this with approx. $10 in IRC's. Do I need to to send them any copies of any birth certificates, etc. of my grandfather or show any lineage along with the letter of request and IRC's?
Re: Requesting Birth Certificate
From what I'm told, this is a normal wait. There is no need to send proof of lineage. You probably should not have sent any money either, as they do not usually require this from out-of-country requests. But, what can you do about it now?cdevita wrote:I have a question-I have sent two requests to the birth and marriage records office in Montemesola and it has been over 1 month with no response.

Oh, well, nothing like a little postal money to help grease the cogs of the wheel I guess...
