Get your ancestor's birth record from Italy, without writing a word of Italian.

Two taps, and you see exactly how we get it for you.

We write to the comune in Italian, ask for the full record with the margin notes, follow up until they answer and send it to you.

Every Italian citizenship file starts with this one record.

It is the proof that your line begins in Italy. It carries the town, the parents' names and the comune's stamp. Send the short certificate instead of the full record and your file comes back. We ask for the full record, the version a citizenship file needs.

Paid before and heard nothing? Not here.

Families pay agencies thousands, then the emails stop. Here, nothing is left open:

• One fixed price before you pay a cent. Our fee is $149. If the town hall charges its own fee, we tell you the exact amount first. Nothing is added later.
• You always hear from us. An email when your request goes out. Another the day the town answers.
• The record, or every dollar back. If the comune reports no record, full refund.
• A real person reads your replies. Answer any email and it reaches us.

The hard parts are ours. You just wait for the record.

• The right office. Many Italian towns merged over the last century. We find where your family's register sits today.
• The Italian. A registry office expects a request in Italian. We write it the way they expect it.
• The right copy. The full record with every margin note, not the short certificate most people get back.
• The follow-up. One email from abroad is easy to ignore. We keep writing until they answer.

All you do takes five minutes.

1. Your ancestor's name and town. As best you know them, it takes a minute.
2. One signed note and a copy of your ID. Italian town halls release birth records to family. We send you the note, already filled in.

Start today. The town hall is the slow part.

Italian town halls take weeks, sometimes months, to answer. The wait starts the day your request goes in, not the day you decide. Every citizenship route, plan or family tree needs this record first. Get it moving now.

Homeport is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. We obtain a public record on your behalf. Decisions on citizenship are made by the Italian authorities.
