Do you need a sworn translation of your Italian stato di famiglia (family certificate) into English, or a sworn Italian translation of an equivalent foreign document? Our firm — Traduttori & Avvocati Associati, based in Rome — handles the entire process: from the professional translation, to the sworn oath (asseverazione) before a Court clerk at the Tribunal of Rome, to legalisation or the Apostille when required.
The stato di famiglia is a uniquely Italian document. Most English-speaking countries — including the UK, US, Canada, Australia and Ireland — do not have an exact equivalent. This means the translation requires specialist knowledge to accurately convey both the content and the legal significance of the document in a way that foreign authorities can understand and accept.
We translate the stato di famiglia, the stato di famiglia storico (historical family certificate) and the combined residence/family composition certificate from Italian into English and all other languages — and equivalent foreign documents into Italian. The service is fully online.
When do you need a sworn translation of the stato di famiglia?
A sworn translation of the Italian family certificate is required whenever the document must have official legal validity before foreign authorities, or when an equivalent foreign document must be presented to Italian authorities:

Professional translation
A native-speaking translator with specific expertise in Italian civil registry documents translates the certificate, faithfully reproducing the content, format and structure — including each family member’s details and relationships.
Sworn oath at the Tribunal (asseverazione)
The translator appears before a Court clerk at the Tribunal of Rome and takes a sworn oath declaring the translation to be faithful and accurate. Revenue stamps are applied (included in the price). The translation now has full legal validity.
Legalisation or Apostille (if required)
If the translation is needed abroad, we handle the legalisation of the Court clerk’s signature at the Public Prosecutor’s Office and, if necessary, the Apostille at the Prefecture.
Delivery to your door
You receive the sworn translation as a digitally signed PDF (eIDAS-compliant) by email, plus the original hard copy with stamps and signature, shipped free of charge anywhere in Italy. International shipping also available.
