Delegation to take a minor to medical appointments (Italy)
For parents who cannot take their child to the paediatrician, a specialist visit, a test or vaccinations and ask a grandparent, babysitter or summer camp to do it. Many surgeries, local health authorities (ASL) and hospitals have their own free delegation form: if the provider asks for it, use theirs. This Italian document lets the carer accompany the child and receive the doctor’s instructions; consent to treatment stays with the parents. Both parents sign it.
Parents’ authorisation for a minor travelling with another adult (Italy)
For parents who entrust their child to a grandparent, relative, teacher or sports group for a trip within Italy or abroad. A child under 14 travelling abroad without a parent needs the declaration of accompaniment (dichiarazione di accompagnamento) stamped by the Questura, which is free: this Italian letter does not replace it. The letter names the companion, the dates, the destination and the parents’ phone number; both parents sign it and attach copies of their ID.
Advance treatment directives – DAT, living will (Italy)
For any adult who wants to state which medical treatments they accept or refuse, including artificial nutrition and hydration, in case they can one day no longer decide, and to name a trusted representative (fiduciario) (article 4 of Italian Law no. 219 of 22 December 2017). Many Comuni offer their own free model. The wishes are written by hand; the DAT are handed in person to the civil-status office of the Comune of residence, which forwards them to the national database: filing is free and needs no revenue stamp.
Appointment and acceptance of the trusted representative for advance directives (Italy)
For anyone who has made advance treatment directives (DAT) without naming a fiduciario, or wants to replace them, and for the fiduciario who accepts by a separate act (article 4 of Italian Law no. 219 of 22 December 2017). The fiduciario represents the person with doctors and health facilities and receives a copy of the DAT. The act is handed, with the DAT or later, to the civil-status office of the Comune that received them, free of charge. Many Comuni have a free model.
