In addition to the cost of the digital image reproduction of records stored in the State Archive, the issuing of authentic and certified copies pursuant to art. 1, paragraph 1 of DPR (Italian Presidential Decree) no. 642 of 26 October 1972, the Stamp Duty Regulation, requires the payment of the relative stamp duty.
The application, sent to the e-mail address as-no.salastudio@cultura.gov.it, will be registered by this Office, then sent back in pdf format with the estimate to the applicant, so that the relevant amount can be applied to the stamp duty.
The stamp duty costs €16.00 for the issuance of the certificate of conformity and €16.00 for each foolscap folio, corresponding to 4 x A4 digital images for 4 sides of foolscap folio.
Payment can be made in two ways:
- with a digital revenue stamp, via the "Acquista @e.bollo" (“Buy digital revenue stamp”) page at https://pagonline.cultura.gov.it/pagamenti-pagopa/operazioni/home.do
- via a bank transfer using the F24 tax form, indicating duty code 1552.
It is specified that the digital stamp duty envisages the issuing of only one stamp at a time; it will therefore be necessary to make as many markings as there are revenue duty stamps needed.
Having received the payment receipt, as well as the files it will also be possible to acquire the certificate of conformity for the digital copy of the original analogue document, as per the provisions of art. 23-ter, paragraph 3 of D.Lgs (Italian Legislative Decree) no. 82 of 7 March 2005, the Digital Administration Code, and the Guidelines of the Agency for Digital Italy of 18 September 2020.
