Which form to use and how to submit it
- Self-declaration (art. 46): replaces certificates of residence, family status, birth, marital status, qualifications, registration in rolls and the others listed in art. 46. Public offices and public service operators must accept it; private parties, such as banks or employers, may accept it if they choose.
- Substitute sworn statement (art. 47): for facts you know directly that are not in the art. 46 list, for example who a person's heirs are. Sign it in front of the clerk or submit it with a photocopy of an identity document. For a lost document the declaration is enough, except where the law requires a police report (art. 47, paragraph 4): check with the office issuing the duplicate.
- Proxy: the person delegating signs it and attaches a photocopy of their identity document; the delegate brings their own document to the office.
- No revenue stamp is needed: substitute declarations are exempt (art. 37).
- Medical, health, veterinary, origin, CE conformity, trademark or patent certificates cannot be self-declared (art. 49).

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a revenue stamp or a certified signature?
No. Substitute declarations are exempt from stamp duty (art. 37 of Presidential Decree 445/2000) and as a rule the signature does not need certifying. A substitute sworn statement must be signed in front of the clerk or submitted with an uncertified photocopy of an identity document (art. 38).
Can a public office refuse a self-declaration?
No. With public administrations and public service operators, certificates are always replaced by substitute declarations (art. 40), and refusing them breaches official duties (art. 74). Private parties may accept them but are not required to.
How long is a self-declaration valid?
As long as the certificate it replaces (art. 48). The receiving office may check what you declared (art. 71): false statements lose the benefits obtained (art. 75) and are a criminal offence (art. 76).
What is the difference between a self-declaration and a sworn statement?
The self-declaration (art. 46) covers a specific list of facts: residence, family status, birth, marital status, qualifications and others. For anything else you know directly, you use the substitute sworn statement (art. 47), which must also be signed in front of the clerk or come with a photocopy of your ID.
What do I need to delegate someone to collect a document?
A proxy signed by you with a photocopy of your identity document; the delegate shows their own document (art. 38, paragraph 3-bis, of Presidential Decree 445/2000). Some procedures require you in person or the office's own form: check the office website first.
