Consular & USCIS FAQ

Italian consulates typically require an FBI Identity History Summary to be issued within 90 to 180 days of your official appointment date. Because processing times for federal document legalization (U.S. Department of State Apostille) can vary, the translation and certification must be scheduled precisely within this window to prevent the document from expiring prior to your submission.

Yes. Italian consulates and local city halls do not accept simple certificates of divorce or summaries. You must obtain a certified final divorce judgment from the court of jurisdiction. This document must also be Apostilled and then translated into Italian.

No. USCIS rules mandate a complete, literal, word-for-word translation of all foreign-language records. Summary documents or extract forms issued by an Italian Comune are frequently rejected if they lack the full marginal notes or historical administrative stamps found on the complete certificate (copia integrale dell’atto).

When submitting an Italian criminal history record for a green card or visa application, you must provide a certified English translation of both the Certificato del Casellario Giudiziale and the Certificato dei Carichi Pendenti (pending charges). The accompanying Affidavit of Accuracy must explicitly state that the translator is competent to translate from Italian to English and that the translation is complete.
