Hague Apostille from Italy

How the Hague Apostille from Italy works

The Hague Apostille (Apostille) is a certificate issued under the 1961 Hague Convention that authenticates the signature, seal and capacity of the public official who signed a document in Italy, so it is recognized in every other Hague member state without further embassy legalization. Notary7 files your document with Public Prosecutor's Office at the Court of Appeals or Public Prosecutor's Office at the Ordinary Court (Procura della Repubblica presso la Corte d'Appello o Procura della Repubblica presso il Tribunale Ordinario) and returns the fully apostilled original — ready to be relied on abroad.

We handle every document type commonly issued in Italy — including notarized documents, civil records, court and academic documents, and corporate records — in English, Italian or any language, with certified translation available when your destination country requires it. In Italy, the apostille is issued by the Public Prosecutor's Office at the Court of Appeals for judicial acts and notarized documents, and by the Prefecture for administrative documents. The document must first be original or a certified true copy. It is crucial that the document is correctly issued and signed by the relevant Italian authority before applying for the apostille. The apostilled document is then legally recognized in all other member states of the 1961 Hague Convention.
