The administrative courts have expressed the same view, and in this regard the following passage is noteworthy: “Subsidiary protection shares with refugee status, for the purposes relevant here, the essential impossibility of returning to the country of origin, which consequently entails the impossibility of obtaining and producing the original documentation required for the citizenship application procedure under Law No. 91 of 1992. The possibility of replacing certification from the country of origin with a sworn declaration (atto notorio) is, in fact, grounded in the concrete danger faced by the individual when contacting the authorities of the country of origin — a danger which, unless proven and specifically determined otherwise by the Public Administration, must be presumed to exist in the case of a foreign national who is the beneficiary of subsidiary protection.”
