Know all about the new regulations for notarization and certification in Italy: Airui Global Translation will accompany you on your journey

As we enter 2024, the Italian Embassy’s new regulations on notarization and certification have become the focus of attention for many people planning to travel to Italy.

Since December 2023, the Italian Embassy has launched new regulations, which explicitly require that all certificate translations used in Italy must be translated into Italian and be accompanied by a affidavit stating that "this is to certify/declare that the attached Italian translation is consistent with the Chinese original." This means that more precise operations are required in the translation and notarization process. Generally speaking, attaching such a affidavit of consistency between the translation and the original may involve applying for a double-numbered notarial certificate, or adding a statement that the Italian translation is consistent with the Chinese original in a single-numbered notarial statement. The specific operation needs to be flexibly determined based on the requirements of the receiving agency, the notary office, and the subsequent Hague Certification Consular Department and the Foreign Affairs Office.

Airui Global Translation demonstrates its superiority in this complex notarization and certification translation process. Airui Global Translation has a team of professional translators who are proficient in Italian and multiple languages.

Airui Global Translation can assist visiting scholars and researchers in accurately translating the content of the invitation letter and related academic certification materials, ensuring that the notarization is processed in accordance with the requirements, and escorting their academic exchange and research journey.

In November 2023, the Hague Convention has come into effect in mainland China. Since both China and Italy are Hague member states, when documents are sent to Italy for use, the embassy and consulate no longer accepts double certification, but requires notarization + Hague certification.
