What the school issues, and what admissions want

An Italian school gives a leaving certificate after the final state exam. It names the school, the course of study and the result. A certified translation of a High School Diploma in Italy carries all of that across, including the head teacher's signature line and the school seal. Admissions clerks read those details before they even look at the mark.

Many desks abroad also want the year-by-year mark sheet that sits behind the certificate. That is a second paper from the school. An official translation of a High School Diploma in Catania does not cover it unless you send it too. Ask the university what their file must hold, then order both sheets together and pay for one court trip.

School names, marks and seals stay as printed

The school's own name is not translated. It is the name on the register, so we keep the Italian form and add a short gloss beside it. A sworn translation of a High School Diploma in Catania shows the mark exactly as awarded, with the top of the scale next to it. Only the receiving school may judge what that result is worth.

Sheets drive the price, at about €30 per page. A certificate is short, so the translation cost for a High School Diploma in Catania is modest; the mark sheet adds pages. Normal work runs 2–4 business days from a clear scan. Entry deadlines do not move, so send it early. The fast lane closes in 24–48 hours if you are already tight.

The oath, the clerk and the stamp

A court-sworn translator signs an asseverazione. That is a short sworn line saying the new text and the old sheet mean the same thing. A certified translation of a High School Diploma in Catania is then joined to your copy and stamped by a clerk at the Tribunale, the court that records these oaths. Ask the university which language they read, because these facts name none.
