Question for those in Italy...

[kristen_maroc 126]

Hey,

So my fiance is Moroccan, but he's been living in Italy in the last 5 years and needs to get an Italian police report for the K1 visa. He's a great guy, but he needs a little... guidance sometimes. He's been in the Torino area. My questions:

1. Where should he go to get his police report?

2. Is there anything (forms or something) that he should prepare ahead of time?

3. Any advice? He's there legally (on a student visa).

Thanks!

Police Record: Available. If a person has been arrested and tried the sentence is available from the court where the trial took place. The Certificato Penale Generale is a certified record of final court convictions and decisions regarding mental incompetency and bankruptcy or a statement that no record exists ("Nulla"). Those born in Italy can obtain the certificate from the Procura della Republica. For persons born outside of Italy, the certificate is issued by the:

Judicial and Criminal Records office

(Casellario Giudiziale per i Nati all'Estero)

Procura of Rome,

Piazzale Clodio,

00100 Rome, Italy

Request for this certificate for immigration purposes only should be accompanied by the applicant's birth certificate and approximately $2.50 in postage coupons to offset the cost of reply.

Phone (should be) 39-06-3879-2390

So as he was born outside Italy, the address above should be the one for him, even when he lives in Italy now.

Casellario Giudiziale only sends the certificates in Italian.

But, as a valid result, "nulla" = no records showing anything criminal, is a valid form to submit with the documentation.

i.e. you don't have to pay anyone to translate the "nulla" record to English.
