What the paper on its own proves

A degree paper names you, the award and the school that gave it. That is all it does. It does not list the courses you sat or the marks you earned, so a reader wanting those needs the transcript as well. A certified translation of a Diploma in Rome covers the award paper; ask for the transcript in the same order if the reader wants both.

Marks are copied, never converted

Where a mark or class appears, it crosses over as printed. We do not turn an Italian mark into a foreign grade, and no honest translator will, because the scales do not line up and only the receiving school may judge the fit. A sworn translation of a Diploma in Rome that quietly regraded you would be worthless, and would be spotted the moment someone read the source.

Award titles get a gloss, not a swap

The name of the award is a legal thing, not a label. So the Italian title stays, and a plain gloss goes beside it in brackets to say what level it sits at. An official translation of a Diploma in Rome that renamed your award as a foreign one would be claiming something the school never granted. A recognition body will make its own call on the level.

The same holds for the school's name and for the seal, the rector's signature and any register number on the sheet. We describe each in place rather than leave a blank. A reader is checking your new text against the scan they hold, so anything they can see must appear somewhere in what we hand back.

The oath behind the text

In a certified translation of a Diploma in Italy the weight comes from the asseverazione, the oath that binds the translator to the text. It is sworn in front of a clerk at a Tribunale, who stamps your scan and the new pages as one set and logs the sitting. Keep the set joined. A university that receives only the new pages cannot see the oath at all.

Cost, and working back from a deadline

A degree paper is short, so the translation cost for a Diploma in Rome comes to about €30 for the page. Add pages if you send the transcript too. Allow 2–4 business days, or 24–48 hours where an entry date is nearly on you. Book early in the season, because everyone applying abroad hits the same weeks.

Diploma translation FAQ

Will a Diploma certified translation Rome get my degree recognised abroad?

It is a step towards that, not the decision itself. Recognition rests with the school, board or licence body you apply to, and they weigh the level of the award. What the sworn text does is let them read your paper and trust the words. Without it, many will not open the file at all. Ask them what else they want beside it, since some also require a transcript.

Can you put my marks on the scale used where I am applying?

No, and you should be wary of anyone who offers to. Marks cross over exactly as your paper prints them. The school abroad has its own table for reading them, and using ours would cut across that. If they ask for a scale note, the school that awarded the degree can supply one. We can then swear that note along with the paper.

Which tongue should I order the text in?

Ask the office that will read your file, because the facts on this page do not fix it. Universities often publish the answer in their entry pages, and a licence board will tell you by email. Get it in writing and send it with your scan. We work into that tongue only. Guessing means a second oath and a lost week in a season where weeks are tight.

Do I have to include the transcript?

Only if the reader asks for it, but most do when they are judging content rather than level. The transcript lists the courses and marks that the award paper leaves out. Sending it later is fine, though a second court sitting costs more than doing both at once. Check the entry page before you order. Then send everything in one go.

My paper is old and the print has faded. Is that a problem?

It can be, so scan it at a high setting and light it evenly rather than using a phone in a dim room. Where a word truly cannot be read, we come back to you instead of guessing at it. Your old school can often issue a fresh copy of the entry. That copy is easier to work from and easier for the reader to check. Start there if the sheet is badly worn.
