Imprimi potest

Imprimi potest

"Imprimi potest" is an official approval by the religious superior (or their representative) of a member of a Roman Catholic religious order that allows a work to be published. Two members of the order called Censor Librorum, delegated by the official granting the "imprimi potest", must first have issued nihil obstats for the work.

Translated into English, this Latin phrase means "it can be printed."

The "Imprimi potest" was formerly necessary to obtain an "Imprimatur", final approval for the work.
