What is Self-Certification?

Self-Certification (in Italian "Autocertificazione") is a statement, written and signed by the citizen involved in any kind of relation with the public administration or agencies and providers of public services, regarding his/her personal status and data.

The use of self-certification is left to the discretion of the citizen involved.

The main use and utility of the Self-Certitification is to replace normal and notary certificates.

This is indeed an important simplification of public administrative procedures, that was achieved with the effective enforcement of Presidential Decree of December 28th 2000 no. 445,  aiming to make the public administration more efficient and transparent.
