Do you need to request a Death Certificate from the Municipality of Druento? If this is your concern, then you are in the right place.

What follows is, in fact, a guide dedicated to how to obtain the document in this Municipality.

PLEASE NOTE!

If you already know that you wish to entrust us with the application for this certificate at the Municipality of Druento, please contact us!

If the certificate needs to be legalized or apostilled, a step at the Prefecture is required, and we can handle it on your behalf, along with any necessary translation. In this case, the territorially competent Prefecture is the Prefecture of Turin.

1. What the Death Certificate includes and its purpose

The Death Certificate certifies some essential information about the death and the deceased (such as the certificate holder’s name, surname, and date of birth, as well as the date and place of death), but unlike the Death Record Extract and the Full Copy of the Death Record, it includes neither annotations nor other information recorded in the Death Record. For example, it does not include the time of death or other information about the deceased, such as their last place of residence, their marital status, information about their maternity and paternity, or the name and surname of the spouse or civil union/registered partnership partner (if the deceased was married or in a civil union/registered partnership).

It can be requested by anyone who knows the identifying details of the certificate holder.

2. Who can request the Death Certificate from the Municipality of Druento

The Death Certificate may be requested by any person who meets the following requirements:

  • Is of legal age according to Italian law (i.e., at least 18 years old);
  • Has a valid identity document;
  • Knows the identifying details of the certificate holder.

3. When the Death Certificate may be requested from the Municipality of Druento

The Death Certificate can usually be requested in any Municipality if, at the time of the request, the personal record (scheda anagrafica) of the certificate holder is registered in the ANPR (National Register of the Resident Population) and the personal record includes information about their death.

If the certificate holder’s personal record is not registered in the ANPR, the Death Certificate can be requested from the Municipality of Druento only if the Death Record is registered in this Municipality.

4. Methods for requesting the Death Certificate from the Municipality of Druento

Below, we list the main methods that allow you to request the Death Certificate in this Municipality. Applications may be submitted to the competent office in person or, if this option is available, online.

As part of the application submission, you may need to fill out forms. Where specific forms are required, they may be provided at the counter (for in-person applications) or be available on the website of the Municipality of Druento (for remote applications).

PLEASE NOTE!

Some request methods allow you to obtain a digital copy of the Death Certificate. If you need to send it to a Foreign Country, this may not be sufficient as the document might need to be legalized or apostilled. In cases where legalization or apostille of the document is required, you must request a paper copy of the document signed with the handwritten signature of a municipal official whose signature is registered at the territorially competent Prefecture.

– Through the Competent Office’s Digital Communication Channels (email and/or Certified Electronic Mail – PEC)

The competent office may issue the document through its digital communication (email and/or Certified Electronic Mail – PEC).

In this case, you must send a request to the office using one of the available channels. In your request, you must state that you are requesting a Death Certificate and include the certificate holder’s details. You must also attach a copy of your identity document.

To verify which digital communication channels are actually available, you may consult the Municipality’s institutional website.

– At the Counter of the Municipal Registry Office

You may also request this document in person by visiting the counter of the competent office of the Municipality of Druento.

To verify the office’s opening hours and whether an appointment is required for access, we recommend contacting the office.

– Via Mail and/or Courier

The Municipality of Druento may also issue the Death Certificate via mail and/or courier.

To verify this, it is necessary to contact the competent Municipal office beforehand to determine if the document can also be issued in this manner.

5. How Much Does the Issuance Cost?

Civil Status Certificates (Birth, Marriage, Death, and Civil Union/Registered Partnership) issued on plain paper are usually issued free of charge. In the case of requests sent by mail or courier, the shipping cost must be covered. The Municipality of Druento may charge administrative fees for processing requests.

For Civil Status Certificates associated with historical records dated over 100 years ago, the Municipality of Druento may require a contribution of up to €300 per certificate, and the issuing procedures for these specific certificates may differ from those outlined in this guide. To verify if a contribution is required for the issuance of such documents, we recommend contacting the Municipality.

6. Issuance Times

Death Certificates requested at the counter of the Municipal Registry Office are issued immediately, unless otherwise specified by the official at the time the request is submitted.

If requested via email and Certified Electronic Mail (PEC), they are usually issued within 30 days.

For Death Certificates that are not digitized (e.g., those associated with very old Death Records), issuance may require a time ranging from 30 to 180 days and, under certain circumstances, may even be longer.

If the Municipality provides for issuance via mail or courier, the necessary time for the parcel to reach its destination must be added to the issuance times.
