Hello,

Has anyone applied for the Italian PCC? I need some assistance…

Since I’m in Canada, I will be sending a banker’s cheque in Canadian Dollars.

But it says – the bank draft drawed from a bank that has a corresponding centre in Italy? Any
idea which bank this could/should be?

Any input would be extremely helpful.

Thank you!

1. Only your bank can tell you if it has correspondence relationship with a clearing centre in Italy.

Why don't you send a Bank certified check in EUROS?

Anyway, currently No Italian bank has a branch office in Canada.

As an alternative, you could contact the branch office in Toronto for the Deutsche Bank. They have several offices in Italy.

Thanks! Will check with Deutsche Bank. They specifically asked for payment to be made in Canadian dollars from Canada.

Probably too late now ...but for those all who apply for the Italian PCC in the future, this may provide some insight on the process.

I did tons of research, called up Italy a few times (not useful at all!) and then just went ahead with it, hoping for the best...

Payment:

The payment was the most confusing part as it states on their website, "the bank draft drawed from a bank that has a corresponding centre in Italy?

I suggest sending a bit extra money because of the exchange etc.

What was sent to Italy:

1. Filled and signed application for - Certificato penale Generale del Casellario
Giudiziale [certificate from the judicial records]

2. Filled and signed application for - Certificato Del Carichi Pendenti [certificate of
outstanding criminal proceedings]
---> these x2 forms I received when I emailed
casellario.procura.roma@giustizia.it with an inquiry on the process. They just
replied back to me with a generic template email along with the x2 attachments.
But did not answer my specific inquiries on payment etc.

3. Explanation Letter

4. Photo copy of passport

5. Bankers cheque (which we call, Money Order here in Canada) from CIBC in
Canadian Dollars


6. Prepaid express FedEx envelope

Address sent to in Italy:

Procura della Repubblica presso il Tribunale di ROMA
Piazzale Clodio
00195 ROMA (RM) Italia

Time-frame:

• Sent in all the papers on 26-Feb-2016 via FedEx Express

• Received and signed for in Rome on the 29-Feb-2016

• Returned tracking was not activated by the 14-Mar-2016, so wrote an inquiry
email to - casellario.procura.roma@giustizia.it

• Received an email reply within 24 hours just stating that the certificates were
mailed to me on the 8-Mar-2016. So, they sent it back via regular post and did
not use the FedEx Prepaid envelope that we had sent.

• Received x2 certificates in Italian on 21-Mar-2016 via regular post
(after 13 days since they posted it, approx. 8 days time taken to prepare the
certificates)

• Emailed certificates to a certified translator who sent us certified translated
English copy back via email and a copy via post. (suggest using a government
approved certified translator)

• Emailed CIC the same copy

Hope this helps future applicants and good luck!
