Criminal Record Copy for General Use
The procedure concerns the issuance of a Copy of the Criminal Record, which is issued: a) in criminal proceedings and b) for the issuance of an Administrative Act of a Public Authority, where required by law as a supporting document. The validity of the copy is normally 3 months. Public Administration bodies are also able to issue electronic copies, in cases where the copy of the Criminal Record is by law a necessary supporting document for the completion of an administrative act within their competence. If and for whatever reason it is not possible to issue the certificate electronically, the person concerned makes a digital appointment on myKEPlive to be served by an employee of the Citizen Service Centres (KEP) via videoconference.

Solemn Declaration
The procedure concerns the issue of an electronic solemn declaration by the person concerned, without a visit to a store of administrative authority or KEP. You can enter the e-mail address in the following two ways: (a) by your personal web banking codes in one of the available banks; or (b) by your personal access codes at the TAXISnet (after entering once with the web banking codes, to confirm your mobile phone number); then you will receive confirmation codes with SMSs on your mobile. The electronic responsible statement you will issue is legally equivalent to a responsible declaration bearing the authentic signature and you can either send it electronically, or print it and deposit it on a public service. At the same time, you will have the right to sign the form of the declaration of responsibility under Law 1599/86 (Article 8) and submit it to a responsible service as a reasoned submission.
