DECLARATION OF VALUE

The Declaration of Value (D.V.) is an official document, written in Italian, which describes a qualification awarded to a specific person by an institution belonging to an educational system other than the Italian one.

This Consulate General issues Declarations of Value for qualifications obtained at schools and universities in its consular jurisdiction.

Please note that the Declaration of Value is an exclusively informative document, and therefore does NOT in itself constitute any form of recognition or equivalence of the foreign qualification, which must necessarily be assessed by the competent administrations. For a detailed explanation of the forms of recognition of foreign qualifications currently in force, please refer to the CIMEA website.
