Overview

Overview

It is common for an Italian surname to be spelled differently, or for a birth date to change between certificates. These discrepancies can block a citizenship application.

Correction fixes the record at the registry, administratively when possible or through a lawsuit.

When to hire

When to hire

  • The surname is spelled differently across generations.
  • Dates, places or parents' names do not match.
  • The consulate or court asked for a correction.

Why Suman

Why Suman

  • We identify all discrepancies at once, before the application.
  • We choose the fastest route for each correction.
  • We handle the lawsuit when it is needed.
