The procedure regulates the method of registering notes regarding the recording of the first name/surname with the spelling of the mother tongue.

The person whose surname or first name was recorded in civil status documents translated into a language other than their mother tongue or with the orthography of another language may request the registration – by a note on the margin of these documents – of the surname or first name retranslated or with the orthography of the mother tongue both in the sections regarding the holder and those regarding their parents.

The request is submitted to S.P.C.L.E.P. or, as the case may be, to the town hall of the administrative-territorial unit of residence or directly to S.P.C.L.E.P. or, as the case may be, to the headquarters of the town hall that keeps the civil status document.
