Italian criminal record certificates, along with the necessary apostille to be valid before British authorities, should be obtained by the interested parties directly from the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Italy or through a delegated person. Some Public Prosecutor’s Offices have postal procedures for issuing these certificates for those residing abroad. Interested individuals are encouraged to directly contact the competent offices for information in this regard.
For general information about the types of certificates and obtaining them for residents abroad, please visit the following address: Ministero della giustizia | Certificati.
In any case, the certificates must be accompanied by an English translation that conforms to the original. A list of professionals, associations, and patronages known to this Consulate is available on the Reference Professionals page to assist consular users.
