Practical information – Certificate from the judicial register for a Public Administration [Certificato casellario per pubbliche amministrazioni] - CERPA

The CERPA system - CERtificati Pubbliche Amministrazioni (CERtificates for Public Administrations) enables public administrations and authorities managing a public utility to consult directly the Sistema Informativo del Casellario (SIC) [Judicial register’s information system] in order to obtain the certificato del casellario Giudiziale (certificate of criminal record) and the certificato dell’anagrafe delle sanzioni amministrative dipendenti da reato (certificate from the register of administrative sanctions inflicted for criminal offences), according to Articles 28 and 32 of D.P.R. 313/2002.

A consultation may be made by public administrations and authorities managing a public utility, in compliance with their tasks and duties, in order to:

  1. obtain information on conditions, qualities and facts (Articles 43 and 46 of D.P.R. 445/2000) of an individual;
  2. check a dichiarazione sostitutiva di certificato [statement made in substitution for a certificate] (Article 71 of D.P.R. 445/2000) [1]

through:

  • an interconnection of databases

or

  • Posta Elettronica Certificata (PEC) [certified e-mail]

How to access the system

The relevant public administration or authority managing a public utility sends to the Ufficio del Casellario centrale [Central judicial register] a request to access the Information System, together with the scheda di attivazione [Activation Form] indicated in Annex C of the decreto 5 dicembre 2012 [decree of the Ministry of Justice dated 5 December 2012 and its updates].

The Central judicial register office then carries out the necessary checks and activates the procedure for stipulating a contractual agreement with the applicant concerning the use of the data and relevant compliance with the laws on data protection, access to administrative documents, protection of confidentiality and prohibition of disclosure.

The contractual agreement indicates the terms, conditions, legal requirements and technical rules to be complied with in order to ensure that the certificate issued contains only data consistent with and relevant to the institutional mission of the administration concerned. (Article 1, para 5 of the Decree of the Ministry of Justice dated 5 December 2012).

See " "schema di convenzione-tipo” [Model contractual agreement template].

Transitional agreements

For those public administrations or authorities managing a public utility who have not signed an agreement yet, the uffici locali del casellario (local offices of the Judicial Record), located in every Procura della Repubblica (Prosecutor’s Office) will continue to issue the certificates, either upon individual or massive requests (in the latter case through a specific application).

If so requested by Italian public administrations or authorities managing a public utility, the local office issues the certificato del casellario europeo [European Criminal Record certificate] (art. 28-bis, par. 1, t.u.) for Italian citizens and the informazione con valore legale sui precedenti penali (Legal informations about final criminal convictions) for other Member States’ citizens (art. 28-bis par. 2 t.u.) (please look at the relevant “Scheda pratica- Certificato del casellario europeo e informazioni con valore legale”).

Nota bene: Please be advised the acknowledgement of every convictions, and any forbiddances because of them, all over the EU is only possible by acquiring the “certificato del casellario giudiziale” [certificate from the Judicial Records Register] together with the “certificato del casellario europeo” [certificate from the European Judicial Records Register] or, if the case, with the “informazione con valore legale” [legal information about final criminal convictions] (not yet available to be reserved on line), in compliance with the relevant European law (Framework Decision GAI/315/2009 and Decision GAI/316/2009, carried out by the Italian Decrees nn. 74/2016 and 75/2016).

Such system will have been working until the entry into force of the decree by the Ministry of Infrastructures and Transports ruling the takeover in the former agreements (as in the one above mentioned) and establishing the Banca Dati Nazionale degli Operatori Economici (National Database of Economic Operators).
