you got to file a lawsuit against your dead ancestor.

I double checked my moms passport and her application. there is no box to check off but there is a place to write the name of your spouse. I filled it out for her and put my fathers full name with middle name and everything but there is nothing with the name on the passport. If my mother has travel ...

I don't see her married name anywhere. So your saying in italy when women get married they don't take their husbands last name? I mean thats cool, I am just a little surprised.

my mother just got her passport but she has her maiden name on this? is this correctable? they told her she must use it. her and my father have been married about 36 years and she goes by her married name so..... i am curious as to why this is and if it can be changed. is this the case for all itali...

I am curious about the political parties of italy. I wonder if anyone could post a link or recommend a book on them. since I am a citizen now I would like to vote but honestly feel like I have no right to vote. I never miss an election here in the states but feel that since I have never even been th...

In the emai they said I do ..... Does the letter needed to be notarized?
Thanks

never mind I found out........ man the consulate really makes you jump through hoops for simple things. I need to get his birth certificate authenticated. It sucks because he will have to go to tokyo from the north of japan to do it and then send me the document then wait for new york to authenticat...

so my brother needs to sign power of attorney over to me. he is in tokyo. does he need to sign the document in front of a consular official there?

just to be clear yes the paul robert spandoni passport is the exact format my passport is in! thanks for the post

of course that page is in italian. I obviously used english to make it easy on myself

on the 3rd picture where it says "QUESTA DI ROMA" that page is on the next page and it says the new york consulate instead. so I guess it is in a new format. but I find it weird there is a residence page. I mean I don't care but what if I move more than three times? above my picture where ...

I got my passport in the mail today. It took just one day under a month to get it to me and it was post marked yesterday. To my surprise the passport has my residence on it and it says consulate of new york where I assume the ministry would normally have some info. Its weird I feel like there are di...

reviewed at the consulate. their supervisor re-reviews everything after they give it a second look.

my brother is now applying in tokyo. instead of making the consulate send it for verification to new york is there a way I can hand in the document and have it verified? I remember reading you can but how do I do that and do I need to tell them where I am sending it?

went for my passport today. waited an hour past my appointment and people who came 45 minutes after me were seen before me. it is only until I said something that they took me. everyone else walked out with a passport I was told I need to away verification. Is this normal? I got my letter thursday a...
