Your Italian Passport- Testimonials and Press

Press and Praise

We were so happy to have our Italian citizenship recognized with the help of Your Italian Passport! In our first consultation, Lauren was able to confirm within 10 minutes the legitimacy of our 4th generation claim to citizenship. It was clear she had a great deal of expertise. Putting together the documentation back to our great great grandfather was no doubt a huge undertaking, but it all came together and Your Italian passport had everything organized and ready for us. Possibly the greatest strength of the Your Italian Passport team is their detailed knowledge of how the consular system works. Through their experience, they anticipate problems and offer solutions. They are pros! For us, having dual citizenship is well worth the cost and we have already recommended Your Italian Passport to a friend. -- Kathryn and Valerie Izzo

Thank you to Your Italian Passport for all of their hard work and persistence. Their professionalism and perseverance got us here. I firmly believe without their expertise this never could have happened.

We had interviewed another company when we were starting this journey. Your Italian Passport offered the complete package and we chose them based on that cohesive process. Throughout the process, I had all of my questions answered and felt so supported. Lauren is a problem solver who recognized the potential problems we would face, but who really advocated for us and went above and beyond. Carlo provided excellent translations, was always available to us, and most importantly never gave up in the search for my grandmother’s birth record from Bari, one of the last documents to be found. In hindsight, we realize that we NEVER would have gotten across the finish line with anyone else but Your Italian Passport!

At the end we felt like family. The team at Your Italian Passport really cared about us and worked so hard for us. They really went out of their way. We are truly grateful. -- Michele Stewart and Family, CA

"I am so happy to have found Your Italian Passport. They were always ready to answer my questions and were quick in responding to emails. I would easily recommend them to anyone looking to apply for Italian citizenship. While the appointment in Los Angeles was fairly painless, the consulate later asked for additional paperwork not mentioned in the initial meeting. It was a massive headache, but Lauren and Carlo were very patient. They shared in my frustrations and did everything they could to help me get the additional documents (like amended birth certificates). It was a bumpy ride but I'm glad I had Your Italian Passport, as without Lauren and Carlo, I would not have been able to get everything I needed." Brianne Bellio, Tucson, AZ

I contacted Your Italian Passport regarding getting my dual citizenship. We scheduled an hour long interview session for a very reasonable fee (which was later applied to my overall costs). This session easily helped me determine if I was qualified and under what circumstances. Lauren explained in detail the entire process, what to expect and the estimated duration. She informed me that I could contact them anytime during the process to discuss any issues or questions I may have. All this was included in the overall processing fee. They secured all the documentation required from Italy, Vermont and New York state. They completed all translations and necessary certifications required by Italy for processing my application and scheduled my Consulate appointment. Once the time for my appointment approached Lauren schedule a call with me to review all the documentation and minor errors that were present in the records and coached me on the responses I should give to the consulate should they question me on them. Lauren also had insight to the personalities of the people I would be dealing with at the Consulate. She is very informed about them not only where I appeared but at several of the consulates around the country. When it came time I was well prepared and was told by the consulate personnel that my application was one of the most complete and accurate they had ever processed - needless to say SUCCESS. All my thanks to the team at Your Italian Passport - could not have been so successful without them. -- John Valente, AZ

From beginning to end, our experience with the team at Your Italian Passport can be summed up in one word - EXCELLENT!! Lauren and Carlo's research, knowledge of the application process, and attention to detail, ensured that we had a successful review of our application at the Italian Consulate. If anyone is considering seeking Italian citizenship, I can, without hesitation, highly recommend the services Lauren and Carlo provide. Bravissimo, Your Italian Passport! -- Ron Schiavetta, FL

After conducting a thorough search of various organizations to help me obtain my official Italian citizenship, I decided to move forward with the team from Your Italian Passport.
From start to finish, the team has been exceptionally attentive and informative regarding the entire process ensuring I knew what was needed, what all next steps were and also what the time frame would look like as to have the right expectations. I also felt very confident working with them as they are lawyers with years of experience specializing in this field directly, so I knew I was in good hands with a team that could get the job done. Not only did they finish my documents earlier than I expected, but Lauren, one of the founders herself, went completely out of her way to ensure that everything we went well for my appointment and that I left as an approved Italian citizen :) I couldn't have asked for better service and I am thrilled I chose to work with them through this process. It was easy, streamlined and most importantly I can legally say that I am a citizen of Italy!

Thank you to the entire team at Your Italian Passport for helping me accomplish one of my dreams, having dual citizenship, and a special shout out to Lauren for going truly above and beyond! -- Jennifer Brunacini, Paris, France

From start to a very successful finish, Lauren and Carlo of Your Italian Passport made what could have been an arduous journey so much easier. I have friends who are still waiting through regular channels for more than two years, and my process was completed in under a year, including the collection, translation, and certification of all the necessary documents. In fact, I have already recommended Your Italian Passport to friends in my Italian club. Lauren and Carlo walk you through the entire process and stay connected through any hiccups or issues. They set up your consulate appointment, which is huge! if you have tried to navigate the Italian Consulate website. And they know which documents you need! I saw other people, who had followed to the letter, the requirements on the consulate website,turned away at the window, for lack of the correct documents! For anyone who is frustrated with what they have encountered thus far, this is the place for you! And if you are just beginning the process, contact them right away. Their services are amazing and much less expensive than other avenues. I couldn't be happier with my outcome. -- Candice LaSpina, NV

Dear Lauren, Carlo and Your Italian Passport,

I am writing to convey what a fabulous journey it has been for my family and me to have had the chance to work with you. You have supported us in ways that we could not have done on our own to achieve citizenship in Italy. The process has been incredible and has brought us more joy than we can properly express. Your thoughtfulness, dedication, generosity and persistence have allowed us to realize a dream come true. Along the have way we have learned about our family and heritage, and this has added immeasurable thrill to the experience. Please know that we value and appreciate your service more than words can say.

From my immediate family on Orcas Island, Washington and my sister’s family in Boulder, Colorado, we wish you and yours our gratitude and respect for everything you have done for us.
