A leaving certificate from Palermo

The sheet you get at the end of secondary school is what an admissions office abroad reads first. It names the school, the exam you sat, the year you left and your final mark. A certified translation of a High School Diploma in Palermo carries all four, plus the school stamp described in words.

A certified translation of a High School Diploma in Italy is sworn in court, and that is what makes it official. The translator signs the asseverazione, a sworn note that the two texts agree, and the Tribunale, the Italian court, stamps them into one file. Nobody abroad has to trust us on faith.

What an admissions office wants with it

Order a sworn translation of a High School Diploma in Palermo early, because a term start will not move for you. A sworn translator is required at the oath, so a teacher at your old school cannot sign for it however well they write. Send a flat scan first and the paper afterwards.

Admissions desks nearly always want the subject and mark list beside the certificate. That is a second paper with its own page count, so ask the school for it in the same visit. Where a desk also wants proof of the marking scale, the school can print a short note. All of it can be sworn together.

Cost, timing and the mark scale

The translation cost for a High School Diploma in Palermo starts around €30 per page, so the certificate alone is cheap and the subject list adds sheets. A court duty covers the oath. Standard work takes 2–4 business days. If a deadline is right on top of you, 24–48 hours can be arranged.

An official translation of a High School Diploma in Palermo is read by university admissions teams, apprentice schemes and some visa desks. None of them wants your mark rewritten on their own scale. We give the figure as the school gave it, and the admissions team converts it if they need to.

Older certificates can be faint, and a faded stamp slows the court stage. Bring the paper in if the scan looks weak, or ask the school for a fresh copy from its archive. The facts here name no language, so ask the admissions office which one they read and keep their answer with your file.

High School Diploma translation FAQ

Will one High School Diploma certified translation Palermo cover the subject list as well?

No, the list counts as its own sheets, because it holds different content. Send the certificate and the list together and one court visit covers both, which keeps the duty down. Almost every admissions office abroad asks for the pair, so plan on both from the start. Ask them whether they also want a note on the marking scale. Your school can print that in the same visit.

Do you convert my final mark into a foreign grade?

We do not. The mark is written exactly as the school issued it, and the admissions team applies its own scale afterwards. Converting it would be an opinion, and an oath cannot cover opinions. Where a desk asks what your mark is worth, that answer comes from their own office or a comparison body. Point them at the sworn text and let them decide.

My certificate is old and the stamp has faded. Can you still work from it?

Often yes, though it turns on how much is readable. Bring the paper in rather than sending a weak scan, since a clerk needs to see the stamp on the day. Where the sheet is too far gone, the school archive can usually issue a fresh copy. Ask for that early, because archives move slowly. We describe whatever stamp is genuinely there and never guess at the rest.

How early should I start before a term begins?

Work back from the admissions deadline rather than from the term itself. Getting the certificate and the list from the school can take days, the writing takes days, and the court needs its own slot. Two clear weeks is comfortable and one is tight. Where you have less than that, tell us and we will look at the fast lane. Missing a deadline over a stamp is a hard thing to explain.
