Father - Grandfather: Your father was born in your native country, your paternal grandfather was an Italian citizen at the time of his birth, and neither you nor your father ever renounced your right to Italian citizenship. If citizenship is acquired by birth in your country and you meet all these conditions, you qualify for Italian citizenship jure sanguinis. You must obtain certified copies of the following documents:

Your paternal grandfather's birth certificate from Italy.
Your paternal grandmother's birth certificate
Your grandparents' marriage certificate (If married outside of Italy, you will need an apostille and a translation into Italian.)
Your paternal grandfather's certificate of naturalization OR statement of "No Records" .
Your father's birth certificate (with apostille and translation)
Your mother's birth certificate
Your parents' marriage certificate (with apostille and translation)
Your birth certificate (with apostille and translation)
Your marriage certificate, if applicable (with apostille and translation)
Your spouse's birth certificate, if applicable
Birth certificates for all your children under the age of eighteen, if applicable (with apostille and translation)
Any applicable divorce decrees/certificates (with apostille and translation)
Death certificates for anyone listed above (with apostille and translation, if for your father or grandfather)

All Certificates: must be new “CERTIFED COPIES” a.k.a. “LONG FORM” or “FULL FORM” (not “certification” or “abstract”). Said certificates should be obtained at the State Vital Statistics Office in which the birth/marriage/death took place.

If your grandfather became a naturalized citizen before your father's birth, you are not entitled to Italian citizenship jure sanguinis unless you fit into another category.

Non Italian Birth / Marriage / Death records related to the “Italian side” must bear an "apostille" (according to Hague Convention of Dec. 5, 1961) except for the Certificate of Naturalization and/or similar documentation.

Certificates in other languages than Italian, must be translated into Italian. The only document which does not need to be translated and does not need an "Apostille" is the U.S. Certificate of Naturalization or any the statement releasing information on the naturalization status of the interested party.
