Guide to obtaining a copy of your identity document

A copy of an identity document is an official reproduction compliant with the original identity card or other valid document (such as a passport or driving licence ), which is necessary for numerous inheritance, legal and administrative procedures .

In the context of successions, this document serves to formally recognize the identity of the deceased or heirs and to validate the powers of attorney and declarations presented to the competent offices.

Here's a guide to requesting a copy of your identity document online through the Agenzia delle Successioni.

Who can request a copy of their identity document?

A copy of the identity document can be obtained from the Registry Office of the Municipality of residence or issuance , the competent Police Headquarters or Prefecture , in the case of passports, or the archives of the public administrations where a copy of the document was deposited during previous requests.

The Agenzia delle Successioni handles the official request to the relevant authorities, guaranteeing the truthfulness and authenticity of the resulting document.

What is the purpose of a copy of an identity document in inheritance proceedings?

In the inheritance procedure, a copy of the identity document is required to confirm the identity of the de cuius (deceased) and therefore identify heirs, legatees or delegates .

• complete the inheritance declaration at the Revenue Agency;
• authenticate deeds, applications and requests for registry or civil status certificates .

This is an essential element for the correct processing of any inheritance or administrative procedure, as it allows for verification of personal data and the validity of the document used for personal identification.

In addition to copies of your identity document, the Agenzia delle Successioni can provide you with registry certificates, civil status records, and tax documents necessary for the complete management of inheritance or administrative procedures.
