Italian Procura Notarization & Apostille

A procura is the Italian-format power of attorney that lets an attorney, notaio or family member act for you in Italy — a property closing, an inheritance, a bank or civil registry filing. We notarize it in Philadelphia and apostille it with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, so Italian authorities accept it without a consulate visit.

What is a procura?

An Italian power of attorney — and why it needs an apostille

Italian notaries, courts, banks and comuni will only act on a foreign power of attorney when the signature has been notarized and then authenticated with an apostille under the 1961 Hague Convention. Pennsylvania issues that apostille through the Department of State in Harrisburg. Once attached, your procura is treated as a valid foreign instrument in Italy — no consular legalization needed.

Real estate — vendita e acquisto

Authorize an attorney or relative to sign the rogito at the closing so you do not have to fly to Italy.

Inheritance — successione

Accept or renounce an inheritance, file the dichiarazione di successione, and represent heirs before Italian authorities.

Banking and Agenzia delle Entrate

Open or close accounts, obtain a codice fiscale, sign tax filings and manage utilities.

Courts and civil registry

Appoint counsel for litigation, or handle citizenship, marriage and civil-status filings at the comune.

Three ways to get it done

Every option ends the same way: a notarized procura with a Pennsylvania apostille attached, scans emailed to you, and the original returned however you choose.

The process

From your Italian attorney's draft to an apostilled procura.

01

Send us the text

Your notaio or avvocato in Italy supplies the procura wording. We review the format and signature blocks free of charge — we do not draft the legal text.

02

Book your signing

Choose in-office or electronic notarization, or tell us the document is already notarized.

03

Notarization

We take your acknowledgment or oath and attach a Pennsylvania notarial certificate that satisfies the Commonwealth.

04

Apostille in Harrisburg

A courier hand-delivers the notarized procura to the Department of State and collects the apostille.

05

Translation and return

Any required Italian translation is attached, then we email scans and ship or hand you the original set.

What is a procura?

Italian, English or bilingual — all three work

In Pennsylvania a notary may notarize a document written in a foreign language, provided the notary and the signer can communicate in a common language and the notarial certificate itself is in English. That means your procura can be entirely in Italian, entirely in English, or drafted side by side — the notarization and the apostille are valid either way.

  • Italian-only procura prepared by your notaio — accepted
  • Bilingual Italian/English text — the format most Italian notaries prefer
  • English-only procura with a sworn Italian translation attached afterwards
  • The notarial certificate and the apostille are always issued in English
