Italian Document Translation
for Official and Personal Use
Whether you are preparing documents for USCIS, an Italian consular process, a court, a university or another receiving authority, the translation requirements depend on where and how the document will be used. We provide human Italian-to-English and English-to-Italian document translation with certification options for official submissions.
A Certified Italian Translation Service Built for Official Use
Italian civil, legal, academic and immigration documents can contain specialist terminology, handwritten entries, stamps, seals and formatting that need to be handled carefully in translation.
Our Italian translation service assigns projects to professional human Italian linguists according to the language direction, document type and intended use. The translated file is prepared against the source document, relevant readable content is addressed, and certified orders include a signed certification statement. For USCIS submissions, the certification is prepared to address the requirements in 8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3).
Optional notarization, apostille or sworn-translation processes are available where the receiving authority requires additional formalities.
What USCIS Actually Requires
Under 8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document submitted to USCIS must be accompanied by a full English translation. The translator must certify that the translation is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate from the source language into English. USCIS does not generally require notarization of the translation itself. Requirements for Italian consular, court or other official use can differ by jurisdiction and document type, so the receiving authority’s current instructions should be checked.

Italian Documents We Translate
From modern civil registry documents to nineteenth-century handwritten parish records, our Italian document translation service covers the complete range of documents required by USCIS, the Italian consulate, courts, and universities.
Italian to English & English to Italian
We offer both directions of Italian translation, depending on where your documents are going and what authority needs to read them.
Italian to English
The most common direction for USCIS immigration filings, green card applications, naturalization, and visa petitions. All Italian-language evidence submitted to USCIS must be translated into English per federal regulations.
English to Italian
Required when submitting US-issued documents — birth certificates, naturalization records, marriage licenses — to Italian consulates, Italian courts, or Italian government offices. Commonly needed for Italian citizenship by descent applications.
Italian Consulate Translation Service
Italian consular requirements vary by jurisdiction, document type and procedure. A translation may need consular certification of conformity, apostille or legalization, or another prescribed form depending on where the document was issued and which consulate is handling the matter. Check the current instructions of the relevant Italian consular office before ordering any additional formalities.
Court & Legal Documents
Italian divorce decrees, notarial deeds, court orders, and legal contracts translated for use in US courts, law firms, or administrative proceedings — with notarized translator affidavits available on request.
Academic Records
Italian university transcripts, diplomas, and laurea certificates translated and certified for US universities, professional licensing boards, and credential evaluation agencies.
Sworn Translator Option
For certain Italian judicial or official purposes, we also offer translations signed and sealed by a sworn translator — accepted by courts and foreign authorities that require this elevated standard ($106.52/page).
Translating for the Italian Consulate?
For Italian consular submissions, the translation and legalization route depends on the document, country or state of issue and the consulate with jurisdiction. Current Italian consular guidance may require an Italian translation, certification of conformity, apostille or legalization, or a sworn translation in Italy depending on the procedure. We can provide English-to-Italian translation, but you should confirm the receiving consulate’s current instructions before selecting any additional service.
What Sets Our Italian Translation Service Apart
Official and certified translations are often used for high-stakes submissions such as immigration filings, consular applications, court matters and academic records.
Each Italian translation is prepared against the source document so that names, dates, stamps, seals, margin annotations and other relevant text can be represented clearly in the translated file.
Older civil registry books, church records and historic notarial documents can contain archaic forms, handwriting or regional terminology, so these documents are assessed individually before the scope and turnaround are confirmed.
If a correction is needed because of a translation or formatting issue in work we supplied, contact our team so the document can be reviewed. Final acceptance and any legalization, apostille, sworn-translation or consular requirements are determined by the receiving authority.
Our Service Commitments
✓ Complete translation — source text, stamps, seals and relevant annotations are translated rather than summarised.
✓ Human translation and review — projects are handled by linguists and checked for names, dates, terminology and formatting.
✓ Certification where requested — certified translations include the applicable translator certification for the intended use.
✓ Clear scope before work starts — pricing, turnaround and any optional services are confirmed according to the document and destination requirements.
✓ Correction support — if an issue is identified in the translation or formatting we supplied, contact us so it can be reviewed.
What makes our translations feel “human”
Natural phrasing and correct register (formal vs friendly)
Terminology consistency (glossaries available)
Cultural fit for region and audience
Clear communication and revision support
We’ll also flag source-text issues that can cause confusion, such as ambiguous wording or unclear references. The aim is to keep the Italian accurate, appropriate to the document and consistent with the intended use.
You May Also Need
If your content contains specialized terminology, let us know. We’ll assign the right linguist and build a glossary to keep wording stable across updates.
Four Steps from Upload to Delivery
Our streamlined process is designed to get your certified Italian translation delivered quickly, correctly, and without the back-and-forth.
Upload Your Document
Send a clear scan, PDF, or photo of your Italian document — any quality, any age.
We Translate & Review
A professional Italian linguist translates the document according to the language direction and document type. The review checks names, dates, stamps, seals, terminology and formatting against the source.
Certification Attached
For certified orders, the translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy prepared for the stated use. USCIS certification requirements differ from Italian consular, court and other authority requirements, so any additional formalities are confirmed separately.
Delivery
Your completed translation is delivered digitally as a PDF. Turnaround and any hard-copy delivery options are confirmed according to the document, service level and current availability.
Common Questions About Our Italian Translation Service
What does USCIS require for Italian translations?
For USCIS use, the key requirement is a full English translation accompanied by the translator’s certification that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate from Italian into English. Our certified service is structured around that requirement. USCIS still determines whether the filing as a whole is sufficient, so no translation provider can guarantee acceptance of an application.
What Italian documents can you translate?
We handle the full range: birth certificates (atto di nascita), marriage certificates (atto di matrimonio), death certificates, divorce decrees, Italian passports and identity cards, police clearances (casellario giudiziale), court records, academic transcripts, diplomas, medical records, apostilled civil documents, notarial deeds, and corporate or legal documents. We also handle older handwritten civil registry and parish records.
How fast can you translate my Italian documents?
Turnaround depends on the document length, legibility, language direction, formatting and current capacity. Standard and urgent options are confirmed when the order is reviewed, so please check the quoted delivery time if you have a fixed deadline.
Do I need notarization for my USCIS Italian translation?
No. USCIS does not generally require notarization of the translation itself; it requires the translator’s certification of completeness, accuracy and competence. If the same document will also be used with an Italian consulate, court or another authority, check that authority’s current rules before adding notarization, apostille, legalization or another certification step, because the required procedure varies.
Can you translate from English into Italian?
Yes. We offer both Italian to English and English to Italian translation. The English to Italian direction is commonly needed when submitting US documents to Italian consulates — for example, during applications for Italian citizenship by descent (jure sanguinis), Italian visa applications, or Italian court proceedings.
What does a certified Italian translation include?
Your certified Italian translation includes a word-for-word English rendering of your document, faithful reproduction of the original layout (including stamps, seals, and margin notes), and a signed Certificate of Accuracy on official letterhead. Unlimited minor revisions — such as preferred transliterations of personal names — are included at no extra charge.
How much does Italian document translation cost?
Certified Italian translation starts at $24.45 per page for eligible standard documents. Urgent, handwritten, historical or complex-format documents may be quoted differently according to scope and availability. Any notarization, apostille or consular formalities should be confirmed for the intended destination before ordering.
Do you handle old or handwritten Italian documents?
Yes. Older Italian civil records — birth registers, marriage registers, and church records from the 18th and 19th centuries — are often handwritten in archaic Italian script. Our specialists are experienced with historical Italian handwriting, regional notarial terminology, and Latin abbreviations commonly found in pre-unification Italian documents. These are handled on a case-by-case basis; contact us before ordering if your document is significantly damaged or illegible.
Is there an official Italian translation service near me?
Our service is fully online — you can upload from anywhere in the United States (or anywhere in the world). There is no need to travel to a local translation office. You upload your document, receive your certified Italian translation as a secure PDF, and request printed hard copies by post if needed. We serve clients in all 50 states.
Ready to Submit Your Italian Documents with Confidence?
Upload your Italian documents for a translation prepared to the certification requirements of your stated use. If the receiving authority has additional consular, court, legalization or apostille requirements, please tell us when ordering so the scope can be confirmed.
