I used ICA to obtain my Italian citizenship through my mom. I had made inquires at a couple of other similar firms, but ICA was the only one that took the time to understand my unusual circumstances and confirmed that I could qualify. Working with Claudia and Marco at ICA made this imposing process easy; they were always quick to respond to any inquiries, and always gave detailed and helpful answers. When the day of my interview at the consulate finally came, everything went super-smoothly because of how well they prepared things.
Without reservation, it is my pleasure to recommend the services of Marco and his team. My case was unique in that I chose to file my application in Italy. Not only did Marco and the staff help me to file the necessary paperwork, but they also guided me through what was often a bewildering process of bureaucracy, accompanying me to every meeting and patiently explaining everything in detail. They also helped me fulfill the mandatory residency requirements, file for Italian healthcare coverage, obtain an apartment lease, and even helped me find a good doctor when I needed one! I could always rely on them and since I chose to live near their office, they were never too far away to help me with anything I needed. I can truly say that Marco, Claudia and the rest of the team are not only professionals of the highest caliber, but they care deeply about their clients and go above and beyond to ensure unquestionable success. They were not just my trusted advisors, but they were also my friends and that is something I will never forget. To say that my experience was one of COMPLETE SATISFACTION is an understatement.

ICA is an incredible resource for anyone attempting to navigate Italian citizenship. They are efficient, precise and accountable. In my particular case, difficulties dealing with the local embassy resulted in a protracted transaction. ICA stuck with me all the way, never wavering, always giving great advice and willing to do any additional work required. Through the entire experience they remained polite, positive and on task. Marco and his team were outstanding. I could not have asked for a better experience.
Marco and Claudia are Worth Every Penny!
When I started researching the process to apply for dual citizenship, I was shocked by how much information and how many documents needed to be presented. My grandfather kept amazing records, but we were missing the marriage certificate of my great grandparents. I made several attempts to get a copy of this certificate but came up short every time. Afraid I would be denied without this document, I asked Marco for his opinion. He reviewed the docs I had and told me it should’t be a problem…and guaranteed his services with a refund if he was wrong. He wasn’t wrong! And now I have dual citizenship!
Marco and Claudia are fantastic, super organized and professional. If you look at the binder of documents I had to present, you might faint, but they assembled it exactly the in sequence that the citizenship officer asked for it. They made this process so easy and seamless. Thank you again! I recommend to anyone that is interested in applying for Italian citizenship, use ICA!
I have worked with Italian Citizenship Assistance – Marco for over than a year. During which I can easily say they are the best of the best. My case was pretty much complicated given the fact that I had lived in different part of the world. This made gathering all the required documents for the Italian citizenship daunting and complicated since there are different countries with pretty much different regulations. However, they handled my case pretty well and I submitted my application before the anticipated date. Not to mention they were readily available for any questions or concerns, with an average response time to emails of couple of hours!!! If you consider going through the citizenship application process, look no further.
I don’t think I could have done this without the help of Marco. His service has been impeccable. Sure some of the US Docs can be requested on your own and living so close to the county recorders office I was able to do just that, but when it came to the docs from Italy Marco was there to do the research and get everything needed. You quickly learn just how wrong information from your 85 year old grandmother can be sometimes 🙂 In fact this whole process has been a great Family History journey as well.
I am looking forward to finalizing everything with the LA Consulate in June of this year which was another thing Marco handled perfectly. The whole calling and paying per minute scared the heck out of me just to set up an appointment. He had an appointment all set up for me in minutes with the consulate.
On top of all these great services Marco went above and beyond by helping fill out the forms necessary to register our children with the consulate and get them Italian passports as well. He made an appointment for us and excited to get our 4 children’s passports next week.
You do this on your own… probably but in the end knowing everything is being handled for me while I go on with my daily life is worth the very reasonable cost of Marco’s services.
I couldn’t give Marco (and ICA generally) a stronger, more positive recommendation. I have lived and worked all over the world and would put the service that I have received from Marco among the best that I have received anywhere. He is responsive, direct, and very thorough. One of his characteristics that I have most enjoyed, and which speaks to his trustworthiness and general strength of character, is that when he doesn’t know the answer to an issue or question that may arise (and such things will happen during the process), he simply says that he’s not certain of the correct answer at the moment and promises to get back with you right away. And then, he gets back to you right away without further follow-up.
As a general matter, he is intelligent, friendly, and uses very good common-sense when dealing with bureaucrats within the various administrative offices. The last of these traits, I feel, is just as important the first, since handling these matters in the “wrong” way potentially could put a tarnish on one’s application.
My family lived last year in Florence, Italy, and I can assure that it would have been a much more difficult experience without his help. In addition, my two young daughters and I received our Italian citizenship in the spring and, as a testament to his work, I am now using him to secure citizenship for my wife.
I strongly and enthusiastically recommend ICA (Marco and Team). They have been working on my case for a few months now and I’d like to say that my case has many particular complexities, since it involves documentation from various jurisdictions that I’ve lived (Brazil, Netherlands, UK, US, etc.) and all documents need to be “recent”, translated, legalized, etc., so it’s very, very hard to come up with an strategic game-plan to make this work, but ICA has done it in a smooth way.They have demonstrated solid work ethic, dedication and professionalism with efforts having produced high quality results time and time again.
They are all committed professionals, talented, very critical and careful with fundamental details in all tasks.
ICA (everyone in the team) is always willing to help, to guide and they are all EXTREMELY responsive.
I have only touched upon the most important abilities of this highly qualified team of professionals. With this email, I can highly recommend ICA. If you require any further elaboration, don’t hesitate to contact me.
ICA is the best service company in this field. They are patient, responsive, fast and smart. They handled the whole process. I can’t believe now I am an Italian citizen!
