Hi, I have a bit of a problem. My mother is trying to get my Grandfather's Birth Certificate from the MD Division of Vital Records, but they say that she's not authorized to get it.
She told them he was dead and that we needed it to apply for Italian citizenship. The person said to send in a notarized letter stating that fact along with a copy of the request from the Italian Government stating that we need the document. My mother told her the only thing we would have to that effect is the instructions to apply for citizenship on this website.
Is there a place I can get the relevant Italian law to send to these people? Is there a better way to approach this? We do have his death certificate and I've seen others on here have success with that in other states.
Thanks a lot!
