Apostilling a degree certificate from Turin

A degree certificate is the paper that says you finished your course and what you were awarded. Your university signs it, so the signature is the part a foreign reader cannot check. That is why the state adds a stamp on top. If you are working out how to apostille a Degree Certificate, start at the student office, not at a state desk.

Which office adds the stamp

You apostille a Degree Certificate in Italy through the Prefettura, and graduates here use the one for the province of Turin. A Prefettura is the arm of the state in each province, and study papers count as civil ones. An apostille is the slip it fixes to your certificate to show the signature and seal on it are genuine.

There is one case where the route changes. If a notary certifies a copy of your certificate, that copy becomes a notarial act, and notarial acts go to the Procura della Repubblica at the court. So decide early whether you send the signed original or a notarised copy, because each takes a different desk.

Cost and timing

The apostille cost for a Degree Certificate in Turin begins with the tax stamp, known in Italy as a marca da bollo. The state charge is €16 per paper, though some kinds of paper are exempt. The clerk will say which line a study paper sits on. No turnaround is published here, so treat the university step as the one to book early.

Who asks for a stamped degree

Most people apostille a Degree Certificate in Turin for work or for more study. An employer abroad may want it before a contract is signed. A board that licenses your trade may want it before you may practise, and a foreign university may want it with a master's file. A skilled worker visa can rest on it as well.

Translation and acceptance

Where the reader works in another language, the legalisation of a Degree Certificate in Turin usually needs a sworn translation. Our translator swears an asseverazione, the formal note that the wording matches, before a Tribunale in Italy. A translator copies your marks across as they stand and never converts them, so ask the reader how they want the scale explained.

Degree Certificate apostille FAQ

How long does the Degree Certificate apostille Turin route take?

No fixed wait is set out here, so ask both desks when you start. The university side is often the slower one, since a student office prints and signs the paper in its own time. The state desk then works to its own pace. Graduates usually run late because they wait for a job offer before ordering the paper. Order it as soon as you plan to apply.

Can the parchment on my wall be stamped instead?

Leave it where it is. That copy is one of a kind, and a slip pinned to it may leave you with no clean original for the next employer. What the office works from is a signature it can trace, so a freshly signed certificate does the job just as well. Your student office can print one on request. Keep the parchment at home and send the printed paper.

Does my list of marks need a slip too?

That turns on who is reading your file. A licensing board often wants the marks as well as the award, while an employer may only want proof that you finished. Each paper takes its own slip and its own tax stamp, so the answer changes what you pay. Get their list in writing before you order. Then hand in only the papers on that list.

My surname changed after I graduated. Is that a problem?

Your paper keeps the name you studied under, and the university will not rewrite it. So the reader sees one name on the degree and another on your passport, which stalls files every day. Send the paper that proves the change alongside it, such as a marriage record with its own slip. Flag the change in your covering note. That way nobody has to guess.
