Legalization is a procedure through which the legal qualification of the public official who has signed an act and the authenticity of his signature are officially certified.
In order to be valid in Italy, deeds and documents issued by foreign authorities must be legalized by the Italian diplomatic-consular representations abroad.
These deeds and documents must also be translated into Italian.
Appointment Booking:
- Civil Status Records (Birth, Marriage, Divorce, Death):
To request the processing of records relating to birth, marriage, divorce and death, it is necessary to book an appointment with the Civil Status Office via the PRENOT@MI portal.
Important Note:
For the services indicated above, it is not possible to send the documentation by post. It is recommended to book an appointment through the indicated channels to ensure efficient and timely management of the practices.
To proceed with the legalization of the translation, the applicant must present himself, by making an appointment, at the consular office with the deed (original) to be legalised by filling out the form. The Office does not certify translations of deeds valid in Italy, which are not accompanied by an apostille.
The above deeds are subject to the payment of the fees referred to in the Consular Tariff currently in force.
The contact details of the professionals shown in this list are for reference only and the list is not to be considered exhaustive. This consular office is not responsible for the work and for the rates applied by the professionals listed below.
The Apostille
The apostille is a stamp/seal affixed to documents or certifications issued by foreign authorities in order to certify their authenticity and make them valid in the country where the document is to be produced: in this case, from the United States to Italy and vice versa.
In the case of the United States, as regards apostilles issued by individual states, the seal is issued by the Secretary of State of the state in which the document is issued.
