Citizenship Translations by Spouse?

6 years ago
I've decided to apply for citizenship while living in Italy. I've been here for almost 5 years and my wife is native Italian. I received the message below when I submitted some documents online. My wife believes she can translate my birth certificate and criminal history docs. I have doubts they will accept her translations. Not because she can't but because we are related. According to the message below, she cannot be listed on the documents. She's not but I feel this might be a grey area. I'm curious if anyone had their spouse translate citizenship documents or has an opinion on the subject.

Si prega, prima di presentarsi per la convocazione, di far regolarizzare la traduzione del Certificato di nascita e del Certificato penale statunitensi, facendone asseverare (presso la Cancelleria di qualunque Tribunale o Giudice di Pace o da un Notaio in Italia) la firma di un traduttore (chiunque conosca la lingua del certificato e l?italiano, ma che non sia una persona menzionata nel certificato); in caso contrario, la documentazione non potrà essere accettata.
