In depth
An estratto (extract) is a summary version of an Italian civil registry document, as opposed to a copia integrale (full copy) which includes all annotations. For CBD cases, consulates typically require the copia integrale (full copy) to see all citizenship annotations.
An estratto di nascita (birth extract) includes the person's name, date and place of birth, and parents' names, but may omit later annotations about marriage, citizenship status, or death.
A copia integrale di nascita (full birth certificate copy) includes all marginal annotations, which are critical for proving the citizenship chain in jure sanguinis cases.
