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

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

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

You already signed in front of a notary. Mail it to our office or drop it off and we file it in Harrisburg for the apostille.
Book a short appointment at our Chestnut Hill office. We review the wording, notarize your signature, and file the same or next business day.

Included in every procura order · $99 each additional document
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.
Choose in-office or electronic notarization, or tell us the document is already notarized.
We take your acknowledgment or oath and attach a Pennsylvania notarial certificate that satisfies the Commonwealth.
A courier hand-delivers the notarized procura to the Department of State and collects the apostille.
Any required Italian translation is attached, then we email scans and ship or hand you the original set.
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.
Procuras are routine work here — we know what Italian notaries reject and we catch it before you sign.
Electronic notarization means clients in any state or abroad can sign the same week.
Our filings are hand-delivered in Harrisburg, so standard turnaround is days, not weeks.
Certified and sworn Italian translations are coordinated with the same order and tracking number.
