Our mission is to assist you and your family in realizing your dream to become an Italian Citizen. At ICA we understand that the whole process is not easy, because it requires a considerable investment of time and effort, but we are here to assist you from the beginning to the end. We can assure you that becoming an Italian citizen has significant value and benefits.
Our Service Packages (apply at the consulate)
Our most requested service is our “Executive/Full Service” which consists of an A-to-Z service. If you choose our Full Executive package, our specialists will provide you with the following:
- Unlimited consultation;
- Full assistance (beginning to end) in the process of preparing the applicant’s file which will be handled directly and exclusively by an Italian expert in dual citizenship;
- Set-up and management of the applicant’s appointment with the Italian Consulate;
- Genealogy research;
- Retrieval of all the records (in Italy, U.S. and anywhere in the world) needed to apply for Italian citizenship;
- Handling of the legalization process of any US records (Apostille, Emendavit etc.);
- Professional English>Italian translations of all the records as required by the law;
- Preparation of all the forms to be filed by each applicant together with his/her records (a minimum of 3 forms for each applicant are needed, and in some cases even more because several generations are involved);
- Passport request and registration with A.I.R.E.
The Full Executive package, therefore, allows you to benefit from a “turnkey” service. You will only be required to sign a few forms, provide us with your IDs, occasionally forward us records received in the mail, and we at ICA will take care of preparing your application and ultimately mailing you your citizenship kit. All you are basically required to do is authorize us to work on your behalf and attend your appointment.
Every case is unique. Contact us for pricing!
If you would like to request this customized service, please fill out our contact form and we will reach out to you!

In other words, rather than acquiring all the necessary records in the US we will guide you and walk you through the acquisition process by providing thorough instructions via email (and telephone). This package is intended for people who have the time to handle all of the required steps in the process of acquisition of all the necessary US records (under our guidance) and consequently wish to be more involved in the process. We will of course still procure Italian records, offer Italian translations and help you prepare your final “citizenship kit”. This package is evidently less expensive than our “Full/Executive Package”
We will provide you with an individual quote tailored with your specific case and needs.
Have you started the process but don’t know how to move forward with the completion of your “citizenship portfolio”?

This package includes (as a comprehensive package) all the basic services you need to complete your “Italian citizenship portfolio” and specifically any needed services in the list below:
• First Telephone consultation (no time limit)
• Naturalization records research
• US and Italian vital records procurement (birth, marriage, death)
