In order to be validly transcribed in Italy, civil status records (birth, marriage, death) must be:
1. registered with the Philippine Registry Office (PSA – Philippine Statistics Authority);
2. apostilled at the DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs);
3. translated into Italian (obtainable from professonal offices, some of which are mentioned on our website).
At that point, interested parties or their proxy representatives can come to the Embassy, by appointment, to request the transcription of the deed in Italy.
NB: The Consular Office, before the deed can be transcribed, makes verifications with the Philippine Authorities. The costs of these verifications are borne by the interested parties and the waiting time, which may be long, depends solely on the Philippine Authorities.
