A decision, written down
A company decides something, and a minute records it. In Italy that record is called a delibera, and it lives in the company's own minute book. Nothing about the decision is public until somebody official touches the page. That is the gap the chain closes for you.
Two forms, two routes
This is the one point that decides everything else, and it is why people asking how to legalize a Corporate Resolution get asked a question back. A minute is notarial only when it has to be. If a notary attended and wrote the record, you hold a notarial act. If the chair simply signed the book, you hold a private paper.
Nothing on the face of the sheet always makes that obvious, so check who signed at the foot of it. A notary's seal and registration number are the giveaway. Without them, the record is the company's own and needs an official to back the signature. Send a photo to whoever is running the file for you.
The route for an ordinary minute
Most people who legalize a Corporate Resolution in Turin are carrying an ordinary minute. Once the signature has been backed by an official, the file goes to the Prefettura, the state's local arm in the province, which deals with administrative papers. A clerk recognises the signature it is shown and stamps the page. That mark is what lets a consulate open the file.
The route for a notary's minute
Where a notary recorded the meeting, the Prefettura is the wrong door. Notarial and court acts belong to the Procura della Repubblica, the prosecutor's office at the tribunal, which holds samples of each notary's signature in its district. The embassy legalization of a Corporate Resolution in Turin then continues exactly as before, at the consulate. Only the first counter changes.
What it costs
The consular legalization of a Corporate Resolution in Italy has a cheap Italian leg and an open-ended foreign one. You will pay a €16 marca da bollo, the tax stamp, in Italy, then whatever tariff the consulate publishes. Where a notary is involved, their invoice sits on top. Ask the consulate for today's figure rather than working from an old quote.
How long, and when to start
A standard file runs 10–15 business days from the day the record is signed. An express route of 3–5 business days can be arranged where a closing, an account opening or a filing date is already fixed. Corporate bundles read slowly at a consulate because there is more to check. Start the chain the week the decision is passed, not the week the deadline lands.
What readers abroad check
The embassy attestation of a Corporate Resolution in Turin is read for authority, not for eloquence. A bank wants to see that the meeting could lawfully pass the decision, that the person named may act, and that the names match their passports. Many will ask for the by-laws alongside the minute for exactly that reason. Send both and the query never arises.
Whether the consular step is needed at all rests on the destination, so ask the receiving authority before you commit money to it. Their answer also tells you the language they will read in, so put both questions in one email. Confirm the required language with the receiving office in writing, then have the translation made once the wording is final. A redrafted decision makes an early translation worthless.
