Description
Personal and business documentation translation for submission to consulates and public institutions. With native fluency in Italian and professional accreditation in five major jurisdictions — the USA, Spain, the UK, Argentina and Italy — I deliver recognized, high-quality translations tailored to both private and administrative needs.
My expertise includes translating a variety of official documents, such as:
- Vital records: birth, marriage and death certificates, acknowledgments of paternity, affidavits
- Court records: divorce judgments, certificates of no appeal, adoption decrees, name change orders, one-and-the-same orders, naturalization papers
- Background checks, police reports and criminal records
- School transcripts and diplomas
- Power of Attorney (POA)
- Immigration papers, visas (ERV, DNV) and citizenship applications: bank statements, employment contracts, certificates of incorporation
- Ashes/remains repatriation records: certificates of cremation, medical certificates and funeral director affidavits
- Licenses and permits: driving licenses, professional licenses and permits
- Medical: certificates of disability and vaccination, living wills and advance directives for medical decisions, service dog and emotional support animal (ESA) documents

Translations from English/Spanish into Italian
As an ATA-certified English-to-Italian translator in the US and a member of the CIOL in the UK, I provide certified translations that are accepted by Italian Consulates in the United States and the United Kingdom. I am also accredited in Argentina and Spain, so I also provide Spanish-to-Italian translations for Italian consulates in those countries.
Typically, my clients are Italian citizens who need to register vital events (births, marriages, divorces and deaths), individuals applying for Italian citizenship by descent (iure sanguinis) or by marriage (iure matrimonii), and applicants for a visa (DNV, ERV, study, religious). I also assist students planning to study in Italy by translating their academic transcripts and diplomas into Italian.
If you are submitting US vital records to an Italian authority outside the US, I can facilitate the required translation conformity stamp from the relevant Italian Consulate or provide apostilled translations (e.g. a child born in Florida to be registered at the Italian Consulate in Brazil, Chile or Argentina; a 1948 case in Italy).
Please be sure to check the translation requirements of the receiving office.
I also translate into Italian for non-Italian consulates in the US, such as the Swiss and San Marino consulates.
IMPORTANT: My Spanish-to-Italian translations are specifically tailored for:
- Puerto Rican records for submission to Italian Consulates in the US
- Spanish records for submission in Italy or other EU member states
- Argentine records for submission to Italian consulates worldwide and directly in Italy, including court proceedings

I translate Argentine records and apostille my Spanish-to-Italian translations for use with Italian authorities (consulates, embassies, courts, municipalities). I also offer 100% digital apostilled translations of Argentine records, in addition to hard copies.
