Yes. It is possible to request the certificate from abroad through a delegated A&P consultant. In this case, the consultant manages the procedure at the competent Court on behalf of the applicant.

Regardless of its use, the certificate is valid for six months from the date of issue. After this period, a new certificate must be requested.

The certificate can be requested by Italian and foreign citizens residing in Italy. Some certificates, such as Pending Charges Certificates, must be requested only at the Court of the place where the applicant has the official residence.
