What is Self-Certification?
A statement written and signed by the person concerned regarding his/her personal status and data to be used in relations with the public administration and agencies and providers of public services.
Using a self-certification in relations with a private person is up to one's own discretion. These statements can be replaced by normal and notary certificates.
Indeed, an important simplification of public administrative procedures was achieved with the effective enforcement of Presidential Decree of 28 dicembre 2000 no. 445, making them much more efficient and transparent.
