2 translation agencies compared · updated September 2026
In Italy, a translation gains legal force through asseverazione: the translator appears in person at a Tribunale registry office, before a Giudice di Pace, or before a notary, and takes an oath declaring the translation faithfully matches the original (under art. 5 of R.D. 1366/1922). The original document, the translation, and the oath record together form the legally valid package.
The most commonly sworn documents are birth and marriage certificates, diplomas, criminal record certificates, and notarial deeds. Revenue stamps of 16 euros are generally affixed to the pages of the translation.
For use abroad, the Procura della Repubblica affixes an apostille to the court clerks signature, making the document internationally recognized under the 1961 Hague Convention.
