| About this letter: This letter should only
be used if you are planning a trip to Italy and
wish to consult the civil vital records at the town/commune
level in person. The Procura della Repubblica
has provincial level control of all the civil vital
records.
There are only two situations when you should use
this letter:
- After sending a letter
to the Sindaco (Mayor) of a specific town
you plan on visiting in the province, and
he does not reply or denies your request.
- If you plan on visiting more than one town,
in the same province, during your visit
to consult the records.
It is important to mention that you plan on searching
only for records of your ancestors and that you
will be perusing older civil records (prior to 1933). Anything newer cannot be searched
by unauthorized persons, pursuant to the 75 year
privacy law. Even for the older records, persons
must be directly related (and prepared to prove
it) to get the information.
Fill in/select the appropriate information in the spaces
below, then click the submit button. The letter
will then be translated and shown to you. Be
sure to print it or save the page to your computer
at that time.
