Usage notes
- In legal Italian, procura is formal. For everyday “authorization,” speakers often prefer delega, depending on the context.
- Procura is usually feminine singular: la procura. Don’t confuse it with procuro, the verb form from procurare.
- For the institution, Italians often say la Procura with a capital in formal writing, especially in news and legal contexts.
