Frequently asked questions

How do I get a birth certificate from Guiglia?

Birth records are kept by the civil registry office (Ufficio di Stato Civile) of the Comune di Guiglia. The request must be in Italian, with exact details and the authorization of a descendant. We prepare and send it for you, follow up and mail you the original.

How long does Guiglia take to issue a record?

It depends on the office: usually a few weeks, sometimes longer. We keep following up and email you at every step.

My ancestor was born in a village near Guiglia. Can you still find the record?

Yes. Villages (frazioni) are recorded by the town they belong to, and some towns have merged or changed names. Tell us the village name as your family knows it and we will find the right office.

What if the record can’t be found?

We keep working on your request, with follow-ups, calls and new requests to the right office, with no time limit and no extra fees, until the record is issued or the office confirms in writing that it cannot be found. If the office confirms that no record exists, we send you its written answer.
