Italy - Police Reports

[HawaiiJ 1]

We are in the middle of requesting the Italian Police Reports and found the information scattered and sometime misleading. In the process of working through the information and verifying with the sources I decided to post the following information in the hope it will server as a one stop for Italian Police reports/certificates.

When we verified the need for my wife to acquire the police certificate, the Embassy in Bangkok provided the following.

**********************

Police Records
Available. The Certificato Generale del Casellario Giudiziale is a certified national record of final court convictions and decisions regarding mental incompetency and bankruptcy or a statement that no such record exists (Nulla).The Certificato dei Carichi Pendenti is a certified record of pending criminal charges, or a statement that no such charges exist, from the office of the Procura della Repubblica in the applicant's place of residence. Both certificates are required from immigrant visa applicants residing in Italy.

Persons within Italy can obtain the Casellario Giudiziale by applying in person or by mail at any office of the Procura della Repubblica. The Carichi Pendenti must be obtained at the Procura della Repubblica in the area that the applicant resides. Such offices are located in all major cities and in many small cities and large towns. Those who apply in person must submit a written request, a photocopy of a photo ID and all fees; the certificates are usually provided the day of the request.

Persons outside of Italy can obtain the Casellario Giudiziale by writing to:

Ufficio del Casellario Giudiziale della Procura della Repubblica
Piazzale Clodio
00195 Rome (RM) Italia

Persons outside of Italy can obtain the Carichi Pendenti by writing to:

Procura della Repubblica presso il Tribunale di ROMA
Piazzale Clodio
00195 ROMA (RM) Italia

Those requesting the certificate by mail, whether from within or outside Italy, must submit a written request, a photocopy of a photo i.d., and all fees, along with a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Mail requests are normally processed within three working days. Information concerning fees and application procedures is available from any office of the Procura della Repubblica or online at http://www.giustizia.it.

This information was helpful but, it was not concise and the term fees were not clear. So, I emailed the Call Center Glustizia to inquire about the fee cost and received the following:

Practical information - Certificates from the Judicial Records Register and of outstanding criminal proceedings requested from abroad
Anyone who lives outside Italy, whether Italian citizen or not, can apply for a certificato del casellario giudiziale [certificate from the Judicial Records Register] or a certificato dei carichi pendenti [certificate of outstanding criminal proceedings] concerning them, submitting an application to the Ufficio del casellario giudiziale [Judicial Records Office] attached to any Procura della Repubblica [Office of the Prosecutor of the Republic], irrespective of their place of birth or residence.
The application, in writing, must specify the following:
the personal details of the person concerned (i.e. the person to whom the certificate relates), stating clearly – in block capital letters - their family name/surname and forename(s)/given name(s), as well as their place (town and country) and date of birth;
the address where the certificate is to be sent; and
if the certificate is requested with exemption from payment of any duty and fee (for adoption, labour disputes, legal aid applications, judicial redress) or with exemption from payment of marca da bollo [stamp duty] (emigration for work, scholarship), the purpose for which it is requested proving entitlement to the exemption.
The application must be signed by the person concerned and specify if is for a certificato del casellario giudiziale [certificate from the judicial records] or a certificato dei carichi pendenti [certificate of outstanding criminal proceedings].
Certificates are issued in the Italian language and in the German language if issued by the Office in Bolzano/Bozen.
The cost of each certificate issued is of € 19.68 (of which € 16 for marca da bollo [stamp duty] and € 3.68 for diritti di certificato [certificate fee]).
If the certificate is exempt from the payment of the marca da bollo [stamp duty], only € 3.68 diritti di certificato [certificate fee]) are to be paid.
In addition, also the postage costs by ordinary mail are to be paid. These are: € 0.90 for mailing to European countries, € 2 to non-European countries and € 2.50 to Oceania.
Please note that the acceptable payment methods (eg. international bankers draft, postal cheque, eurogiro etc) of the amount due for issuing a certificate (stamp duty and/or certificate fee and postage costs) differ according to the country from which the certificate is requested and relevant applicable Conventions. It is therefore necessary to ask the Ufficio del casellario [Judicial Records Office] to which the application is going to be sent what is the appropriate payment method to use.
Do not send cash
Applicants must enclose the following in their request:
a copy of a valid identity document of the person concerned (eg. ID card, passport, international driving licence)
proof of payment of the total amount due for issuing the certificate (i.e. stamp duties and/or certificate fee and postage costs)
an envelope already bearing the address where the certificate is to be mailed to, without stamps.

********************

I feel like this cleared things up for me. Hope it helps others.

I was ready to stuff 30 Euro into the envelope and trying to get a prepaid/addressed envelope ready. I think it is simpler with the information provided.

Hi HawaiiJ

 

Thank you so much for your post. I live in London and have to do the same request to the Italian gov. 

Does the application need to be sent by mail? Isn't there a chance to do it by email with a letter attached?

 

Thanks,

 

Kevin
