This guide answers a simple question that is often answered too loosely: it is not enough to know there is a price, you need to know what it applies to. For italian criminal-record certificate, the main figure is EUR 19.92, read from the source listed here and checked on 2026-07-23. We publish it only for Italy, because turning it into a national average or a universal cost would be misleading.

Frequently asked questions

Does Italian criminal-record certificate always cost EUR 19.92?

No. EUR 19.92 is the ordinary or most quotable figure within the source's scope. Exemptions, concessions, ticket duration or outside services can move the cost.

Why not use a broader average?

Because an average that mixes cities, channels or user profiles looks precise but does not help anyone pay the right price. We publish the verified price list and state where it does not apply.

When should this price be checked again?

The next review is scheduled for 2026-10-23. Public and operator prices can change through resolutions or price-list updates, so they should not be treated as permanent.

Sources and methodology

How we worked it out

The EUR 19.92 is the sum of the standard EUR 16 duty stamp and the EUR 3.92 certificate fee stated by the Ministry of Justice for an online criminal-record certificate. The EUR 23.84 upper bound covers an extra copy or a different request channel. Agency fees and travel costs for collection are excluded because they are optional and variable.

Why this confidence level

Confidence is High because the figure comes from a public or institutional source with authority level 5/5. The less certain part is not the number itself, but how a reader uses it: exemptions, concessions and private channels can change the final bill.
