Does the ANPR certificate have the same legal value as a municipal one?

Yes, fully. The digital certificate issued by ANPR is equivalent to the one issued at the municipal counter, digitally signed by the registry official.

Do I need to pay anything?

Certificates are free when requested by private citizens for personal use (stamp duty exempt). If the certificate is for commercial or corporate use, stamp duty (€16) may apply.

Can I request certificates for a non-cohabiting family member?

Via ANPR you can only download certificates for yourself and members of your registered household. For other relatives or third parties, contact the municipality office or present a proxy.

Step-by-step procedure

Go to anpr.interno.gov.it and log in with SPID (level 2), CIE or CNS. The portal is available 24/7.

Certificates for municipalities not yet migrated to ANPR may not be available online: in that case contact your municipality.

Choose the certificate and the recipient

You can request certificates for yourself or other members of your household. Available certificates include: residence, family status, birth, citizenship, marriage, death, civil union, proof of life. Also choose the language (Italian, multilingual for use abroad).

Download or share the certificate

The certificate is generated immediately as a PDF with digital signature and electronic stamp. You can download it, print it or send it directly by email. It is as valid as one issued at a counter. For use with the Public Administration no stamp duty is required: the self-declaration principle applies.

ANPR certificates are valid for 6 months from the date of issue (same validity as paper ones).
