Document Retrieval & Apostille
From missing records to ready-to-use legal documents, we handle it all.

Why Accurate Documents Are the Foundation of Your Citizenship Application
For Italian citizenship, documents must be official, complete, and properly legalized to comply with the 2025 Law. Errors, omissions, or missing records can delay your process for months even years.
With THE CTZN, every record is:
- ✓Retrieved from official sources (municipal offices, state archives, courts)
- ✓Authenticated and apostilled
- ✓Professionally translated into Italian for legal use
