My lawyer asked me to present the following documents for the PCC:
- Certificato penale generale del casellario giudiziale
- Certificato dei carichi pendenti
They are both issued by "Procura della Repubblica presso il Tribunale di residenza" and they need to be issued for "uso emigrazione".
I presented the above docs and everything looks good.
If you're in Canada you may have 3 ways to get these papers:
- Someone for you can request them assuming they have a "procura notarile"
- Ask the italian consulate if they can provide the above papers
- Go to the italian consulate/embassy do a "procura notarile" on some relative living in Italy and he'll be able to get the papers on your behalf from the court house (tribunale)
