What the reader abroad is checking

A degree certificate names you, the university, the award and the date it was conferred. An employer wants to know the award is real and yours. A licence board wants the exact title of the degree, because their rules list titles. A certified translation of a Degree Certificate in Italy gives them the award title as the university wrote it, not a rough equivalent.

This matters most where titles do not map neatly. An Italian laurea magistrale is not the same phrase as any single foreign degree name, so we render the title and leave the ranking to the reader. Guessing an equivalent is how files get turned away. An official translation of a Degree Certificate in Padua stays faithful and lets the board judge.

The court oath, step by step

Italy asks for an oath rather than a stamp on headed paper. Our translator brings both texts to a clerk at the Tribunale and signs the asseverazione, a short statement that the two match. The clerk then registers and stamps them together. A sworn translation of a Degree Certificate in Padua is that stamped pair, never a loose sheet on its own.

Keep the parchment and the transcript apart in your mind. They are separate papers, each with its own page count, and many boards want both. A certified translation of a Degree Certificate in Padua covers only the certificate unless you send the transcript as well. Ask the board which of the two they actually read.

Pages, price and timing

The rate is about €30 a page. A single parchment is one page; a transcript with several years of marks on it is many, so the transcript usually costs more than the degree itself. Ask for the translation cost for a Degree Certificate in Padua and the transcript price together, so nothing lands on you later.

Timing is simple. Ordinary work comes back in 2–4 business days, and the rush lane in 24–48 hours. Job offers move faster than that, so send the scan the day you know you need it. And find out the language before anything else, because the facts here do not settle it.
