In order to be valid in Italy, a foreign deed shall be accompanied by an Italian translation, certified as compliant by the competent diplomatic/consular Mission or by an official translator.
EU Regulation 2016/1191, however, provides for acceding States that public deeds issued on multilingual standard forms do not require translation provided that the national authority to which the public deed is submitted deems that the information contained in the standard multilingual form is sufficient for processing the public deeds in question.
Main reference legislation: PRD No. 445/2000, art. 33; EU Regulation 2016/1191.
