Documents for Italy: what to check before translation

Andreea Hărămiță · 14 September 2026

A clear list of requirements helps avoid unnecessary translations and repeat visits. Here is what to prepare before asking for a quote.

Ask for the exact document list

Start with the Italian institution where you will submit your application. Ask which documents are needed, the accepted language and format, and any requirements concerning their issue date. Keep the message or official page and send the requirements with your translation enquiry. Do not automatically use a friend’s list: the purpose and institution may be different.

Different documents require different formalities

Certain public documents circulating between EU Member States, including documents concerning birth or marriage, are exempt from an apostille within the scope of the European rules. Multilingual standard forms are available for some documents. These rules do not automatically cover every document and do not determine recognition of its legal effects. Check your document’s situation before ordering additional formalities.

Send all relevant pages

For assessment, include the front and reverse of the document, annexes and any annotations. A seemingly blank page may contain an important stamp or addition. Mention any existing translations or institutional instructions. Do not alter the text or remove annotations from the document to be translated.

Separate the translation deadline from the application deadline

State when you need to have the document in hand, not just the date of your appointment. If paper copies must be shipped, allow for delivery time too. Availability for urgent work and any additional services are confirmed before the order is accepted.

Request a document assessment

For Romanian-Italian translation, send a readable scan through the form. Specify the receiving institution and its requirements. This information is general guidance; your particular application must be checked with the competent institution.
