Please be informed that this Consular Section does not provide translations or certify translations.
For documents issued by the authorities of Kosovo to be recognized in Italy, the following procedure is recommended:
- Civil status documents should be authenticated with an Apostille issued by the Civil Registration Agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kosovo.
- Other public documents (e.g., educational, judicial, notarial) should be authenticated with an Apostille issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kosovo.
- Translations into Italian:
- All documents should be translated by an official translator certified by the Kosovo Judicial Council.
- The translation should also be authenticated with an Apostille issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kosovo.
Official lists of certified translators and interpreters are available at the following links:
Once the document and its translation have been prepared and apostilled, they may be submitted directly in Italy without any further consular procedures.
Alternatively, the translation may be executed and legalized directly in Italy at a Court or by a Notary.
