Legal value for your email communications
Certified Electronic Mail (CEM) allows you to send emails with the same legal value as a registered letter with return receipt, with guaranteed proof of shipping and delivery times.
The service allows companies, professionals, and public administrations to communicate via a secure and certified channel, simplifying formal communications.
Savings
- you eliminate the use of paper and toner as well as postage costs
- you save time and avoid waiting at the post office
Security
- the service is practically immune to computer viruses thanks to antivirus services and sender certification
- it guarantees enforceability against third parties in the event of a dispute
- it uses secure and encrypted protocols
Simplicity
- you can use it with your email program
- it can also be accessed from the web
How it works
- the email is certified because the Operator issues a receipt that constitutes legal proof that the message and any attachments were sent
- similarly, the recipient’s Operator sends the sender a delivery receipt for the certified email message
- the receipts, which include the date and time, certify that the message was sent and delivered without alterations
- certified email is mandatory for all companies, public administrations, and registered/listed professionals

Notes
+
- the service is provided in collaboration with an operator accredited by the Agency for Digital Italy (AgID)
- the delivery receipt confirms that the message has been delivered to the recipient’s mailbox but does not certify that the message has been read
- the receipts have legal value only if the sender and the recipient communicate via CEM mailboxes
- the receipts are stored by the Operator for at least 30 months; it is possible to request a copy with the same legal value
- to guarantee the security of mailboxes, the CEM service uses the ‘TLS 1.2’ communication protocol, compatible with the most up-to-date versions of browsers and operating systems, and does not allow access to the service if the minimum requirements are not met; the list of versions that support the service is available at supporto.welcomeitalia.it/pec
