Certified translation of Sicilian and Italian documents from Sicily's comuni (municipalities). We translate certificato di nascita, atto di matrimonio, estratto per riassunto, and historical parish records — with translators who understand Sicily's unique civil registry formats, the bilingual Italian-Sicilian terminology found in older records, and the specific commune administrative systems across all nine Sicilian provinces.
Our Sicilian translators are native speakers from Sicily who specialize in the specific document formats issued by Sicilian comuni, including the estratto per riassunto dell'atto di nascita (summary extract of the birth record), certificato di stato di famiglia (family status certificate), and atti di matrimonio (marriage records). They are particularly experienced with historical records dating back to the 1860s — critical for jure sanguinis Italian citizenship applications — and understand the Sicilian-influenced Italian vocabulary, Latinized name forms, and archaic administrative terminology found in these documents.
Whether you need a Sicilian birth certificate translated for an Italian citizenship by descent application, historical church records from Palermo or Catania parishes for genealogical research, or modern Italian documents from Sicily's civil registry for USCIS immigration filings, our team delivers accurate certified translations.

Sicilian presents unique linguistic challenges that machine translation and non-specialist translators consistently fail to handle correctly.
Older Sicilian documents contain Sicilian-language words and forms that differ significantly from standard Italian — "figghiu" (son) vs. Italian "figlio," "nasciu" (born) vs. "nato." Translators must recognize Sicilian vocabulary within Italian-language documents.
Jure sanguinis citizenship applications require documents dating to the 1860s-1930s. These are handwritten in ornate cursive Italian with Sicilian influences, using archaic administrative language. Reading these requires paleographic skill and familiarity with 19th-century Italian legal terminology.
Each of Sicily's 390 comuni issues documents in slightly different formats. The layout, seal placement, and administrative annotations vary by municipality, requiring translators experienced with the specific commune system rather than just generic Italian documents.
Sicilian has significant Arabic (from 9th-11th century Arab rule) and Norman French influences not found in standard Italian. Place names, surnames, and some administrative terms reflect these layers — "Marsala" from Arabic "Marsa Allah," requiring cultural-linguistic expertise to translate contextually.

“L'ufficiale dello stato civile del comune di Palermo certifica che nei registri degli atti di nascita risulta iscritto il seguente atto.”
“The officer of the civil state of the municipality of Palermo certifies that in the registers of the birth acts the following act results inscribed.”
“The Civil Registrar of the Municipality of Palermo certifies that the following entry appears in the Registry of Birth Records.”

USCIS, immigration courts, and state agencies require certified translations of all foreign-language documents. Our Sicilian translations meet every federal and state requirement.
Every Sicilian translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy — a sworn statement by the translator attesting that the translation is complete and accurate. This is the minimum requirement for USCIS filings, court submissions, and academic credential evaluations (WES, ECE, NACES members).
A notarized translation adds a notary public’s verification that the translator’s signature is authentic. Some state courts, foreign consulates, and government agencies require notarization in addition to certification. We provide notarized Sicilian translations with same-day availability.
For Sicilian documents being used internationally, an apostille certifies their authenticity under the Hague Convention. We coordinate apostille services with the Secretary of State’s office, providing a complete package: certified translation + notarization + apostille — ready for international legal use.
