Police Clearance for Thai Nationals in Italy — Translation & Legalization

End-to-end service for Thai nationals in Italy: (1) local Police Clearance from Casellario giudiziale for use in Thailand or third countries, and (2) Thai Police Clearance (CID) via the Royal Thai Embassy. iLC coordinates both sides and handles translation plus every legalization layer.

1) Local Police Clearance in Italy

Italy issues police records through Casellario giudiziale. Because it uses the Apostille process (Hague Convention 1961 member), iLC coordinates the local agent and schedules fingerprinting and returns documents to you.

2) Thai CID from Italy

Thai nationals in Italy may request the Thai Police Clearance (CID). Fingerprinting is done at the Royal Thai Embassy/Consulate in Italy and the packet is forwarded to Bangkok. Estimated turnaround: 30–45 วัน (ผ่านสถานทูตไทย). iLC receives the certificate in Thailand and immediately handles translation and legalization before shipping onward.

Full legalization chain

How the process runs — Police clearance certificate service

Obtain a freshly issued original from the office that produced the record and check that every page is present.
Prepare a complete translation with the translator's statement of accuracy attached.
File for legalization at the Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with the original and the translation together.
Complete the next certification layer required by the destination country — Apostille, or legalization at that country's embassy in Thailand.
Collect the finished bundle, scan a full copy for your records, then submit it in the format the receiving authority specifies.

Fees and processing times are set by each authority and vary by document and destination — confirm them with the responsible agency.

Handling it yourself vs letting iLC run it

Aspect	Doing it yourself	With iLC
Working out which steps apply	You read each authority's rules yourself, and usually learn a step was missing only after the bundle is refused.	Our advisers review the documents before work starts and sequence translation, notarisation, MFA, and embassy in one pass.
Time spent filing	Repeat trips to each office, queueing and collecting in person.	We file on your behalf; you send scans and receive the finished set by post or courier.
Risk that the translation is refused	Agency names, job titles, and the certification wording often do not match what the receiving office accepts.	We use terminology and certificate formats the receiving authority has accepted before, with two-stage proof-reading.
If the bundle is rejected	You diagnose the cause and refile yourself, losing a full cycle.	We identify the cause, correct it, and refile without you starting over, with progress reported along the way.

An advisor, not only a document processor

Before any work starts, our team assesses how many certification layers your document actually needs, which authorities are involved, and the correct order for the office you will really file with. One step out of order usually means restarting the whole bundle. More than 15 years of cross-border document work means we recognise how each authority rejects files and prevent it up front.

The certification route is matched to the receiving authority before work begins.
Rejection risks are checked, from name spelling to document validity windows.
The filing sequence is planned around the deadline you actually have.
