Italian term

esente

Non-PRO Italian to English Other Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs certificato di nascita
In an Italian birth certificate, after the words "rilasciato con modalita" there is the word "esente", which I take to mean "exempt from fees" as in not required to be on "carta bollata". (And in fact this certificate isn't on carta bollata). However, immediately below there appears further "esenzione dai diritti ai sensi dell'art 7, comma 5 L. n 404/1990 ... "
I don't understand this and haven't seen it before. I think of "esenzione" as applied to taxes, fees etc. yet here it is to "rights". What "rights"? The rights of the state to charge fees"?

Can someone please illuminate me? Thanks in advance.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I'm not clear why it just says "exempt" on its own, but that's not your problem.
Diritti means fees or charges - see definition 2c in my reference.

I'm not sure if my previous answer went to you, Phil. In any case, thanks again for clarifying- and thanks also to Cedric and Linda for confirming.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks Phil. I have not seen "diritti" with the sense of "fees" before. This now makes perfect sense."
