For some procedures, in addition to the standard Italian criminal record certificate, an apostille (also called legalization) is required.
Thanks to this seal, your Italian criminal record will also have legal validity abroad.
An Apostille is a procedure that guarantees the authenticity of a notarial document in a state other than the one in which it was issued or authorized, thus facilitating its recognition in a third state and, therefore, contributing to the document’s effectiveness in a country other than the one in which it was created, if applicable.
Before purchasing this additional service, please check whether your application (citizenship, employment, etc.) requires an apostille.
