Official Italian Background Checks
A Police Clearance Certificate (Certificato del Casellario Giudiziale) is the official document issued by the Italian judiciary detailing an individual’s criminal record. It is mandatory for employment, visa applications, and citizenship processes (Jure Sanguinis) worldwide.
In addition to the standard record, many authorities require the Certificato dei Carichi Pendenti, which lists ongoing criminal trials. Whether you are an Italian citizen or a foreign resident who lived in Italy, our law firm retrieves and ships these official documents directly to your door.
⚠️
Optional: Translation & Apostille
The certificates we retrieve are 100% official, complete, and legally valid Italian government documents.
However, if you are submitting them to a foreign authority (e.g., for a US, UK, or Canadian visa), they might ask you to translate and legalize them. You can easily handle this in your home country, or you can add our supplementary Sworn Translation & Apostille service so your documents arrive fully localized and ready to submit.

Client Success Stories
5.0
★★★★★
Verified reviews from international clients needing Italian documentation.
Katherine S.
★★★★★
“From the moment I reached out, they immediately understood the complexities of my case. Within just one week — and in August in Italy, no less — they managed to obtain and send me the exact required documents. Anyone who has dealt with Italian bureaucracy in summer will understand what a remarkable achievement this is!”
C C.
★★★★★
“Alfredo is an exceptional lawyer who went above and beyond to support my husband and ensure he felt at ease throughout the process. When the Questura (Police Headquarters) did not respond to our PEC, Alfredo proactively found a way to obtain updates and clarify the situation. I highly recommend him.”
Frank Criniti
★★★★★
“Excellent communication and service provided to a non-Italian. Alfredo communicated in English as well as Italian and was very good with status updates and doing whatever it took to complete my application paperwork to completion. I highly recommend his services.”
GG GRACE
★★★★★
“Working with Avv. Alfredo Esposito has been a wonderful experience. Very professional and knowledgeable. Also, he is patient with answering our questions. He recently obtained official documents for my wife and I and we are very happy with his services. I can’t recommend him highly enough.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be in Italy to apply?
No. We specialize in assisting non-residents. You do not need to travel to Italy; we act on your behalf via power of attorney (mandate). We can request certificates from any Italian court, regardless of where you lived.
How long does the process take?
Certificates are generally issued by the court in 3 to 10 business days. If you opt for the supplementary Translation and Apostille, please add an additional two weeks for the legalization process. Shipping times vary by destination.
Can I translate the documents in my own country?
Yes, you can choose to receive the official Italian originals and handle translation locally. However, we offer an optional Sworn Translation and Apostille service (€130 per page) done directly in Italy. This guarantees the document is legally perfect before it leaves the country.
What is an Apostille and do I need it?
The base certificate is an official, complete Italian document. However, if you are presenting it to a foreign government (e.g. USA, UK, Australia, Canada), they usually require an “Apostille” (an international authentication signature). We can handle this step for you as an add-on service.
Is this certificate valid for Citizenship applications?
Yes. Our certificates are the official government documents required for Italian Citizenship (Jure Sanguinis) and naturalization or visa processes in other countries.
What if I have a criminal record in Italy?
The certificate will accurately reflect any criminal history found in the Italian judicial system. We can obtain the certificate for you regardless of its content. If you are worried about what might appear, you can order a “Visura Iscrizioni” first to check the records privately before requesting official certificates.
