Posso avere una copia della denuncia?

Can I have a copy of the report?

Pronunciation

KOH-pyah — two syllables; the 'i' is very brief, almost part of the 'py' cluster.

When to use it

Always ask for a copy before leaving the police station. You will need it for insurance claims, embassy document replacement, and any follow-up legal action.

You are legally entitled to a copy of any denuncia you file. The copy is typically given free of charge at the time of filing.

Variations

Quando posso ritirare la copia?

When can I collect the copy?

Use if the copy is not available immediately.

Is the report required to renew my passport?

Confirms the purpose — embassy requirements vary by nationality.

Mini Dialogue

— Ha bisogno di altro? — Sì, posso avere una copia della denuncia? — Certamente. Eccola, con il numero di protocollo. — Grazie. Ne ho bisogno per la compagnia assicurativa.

— Do you need anything else? — Yes, can I have a copy of the report? — Certainly. Here it is, with the protocol number. — Thank you. I need it for the insurance company.

Cultural Note

Italian insurance companies universally require a copy of the police report before processing any theft or loss claim. The protocol number on the document is the key reference.
