All you need to know about Italian Embassy Attestation

Italy, a European country with a long Mediterranean coastline, has left a powerful mark on Western culture and cuisine. Going to a European country like Italy is one of the dreams of many Indians. Even though the nation is ranked between 27 and 30 in the reports for 2021, it offers a lot of work opportunities and a competitive pay scale for the people. Italy, one of the happiest nations in the world, grants visas to visitors, students, and employees. The nation also offers visas for permanent residents. The country also provides residence permits.

There are many important points that you need to keep in mind while migrating to Italy. Embassy Attestation is one of them. The majority of people believe that because Italy is considered to be a European country, they must obtain an apostille to immigrate there. But it is wrong. 

Here, the process of attestation will be in non-educational documents.

State Home Department Attestation + Apostille + Authorised Translation of Document to the Italian Language by Authorised Translators + Italian Legalisation from Embassy/Consulate. 

Always keep in mind that if the document is issued from the South Jurisdiction, you have to do the attestation through the consulate of Italy in Mumbai. If the certificate is issued from the North Jurisdiction, then you need to do the attestation from the Delhi Embassy of Italy. And again, if the document has been issued from a North-Eastern jurisdiction, then you need to do the attestation from the consulate of Italy in Kolkata.

Now let us see how to assist with educational documents.

Here, the process will be

State HRD + Apostille + Authorised Translation + Italian Legalisation based on regions.

One more step is there in the educational documents. That is DOV. It means a declaration of value. Many people have the misconception that DOVs and legalisation 

are the same. But it is wrong. Legalisation is different. DOV is also different. Legalisation means attestation from the Italian embassy or consulate after checking the initial procedures like HRD, Home, Apostille, etc. But DOV is a letter issued by the Italian embassy or consulate. They will check the accreditation of your university, approve your course and everything in every detail, and finally issue the DOV.

What is DOV?

Detailed scrutiny of a professional qualification received by any individual from his or her educational institution outside Italy. There is no need to do DOV on all documents. If you are migrating to Italy for any higher educational purposes, then your university will specify the list of documents that need to be done with DOV in their requirement list. If the migration is in connection with any job purpose, the employer will specify it. Normally, DOV is done on your highest qualification, transcript, etc. All other documents need legalisation only.

Legalisation and DOV are not done by directly submitting the documents to the embassy. VFS Global is responsible for this. For all procedures before legalisation, like attestation, translation, etc., you can contact any agency like Trueway International. I think you have now cleared all procedures for Italian attestation.

The country is rich in producing machinery, chemicals, automobiles, and textiles. Fashion design and tourism also remain important sources of revenue.
