Are you a prospective student?
If you need to request a certified translation of administrative documents, you can submit the documentation at the same time as your visa application. Show up on the day of your visa appointment and you can also submit any already translated documents for which you require a certified translation.
The documentation, depending on the workload, will be ready within a week. You can collect it on the same day as your visa collection. If you are unable to collect the translated documents, you can delegate a third party to collect them at the same time.
However, you still have the option of requesting the legalization service through the dedicated service (see details below). In this case, the administrative procedure requires payment of the consular fee (in cash and ILS) and is completed within 30 days.
A public deed or certificate issued by the Israeli authorities to be valid in Italy must bear the so-called “Apostille”, be translated and be accompanied by the certificate of conformity to the original. The Apostille is a stamp/seal that certifies the authenticity of documents issued by a country that must be recognized in other countries.
To get an Israeli document valid in Italy, follow these simple steps:
STEP 1 – Affixing of the Apostille
Ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to affix the Apostille on your original document. For more information, procedures and appointments click here.
STEP 2 – Translation of the document
Translate the document on which the Apostille has been affixed translated into Italian. See how you can do it here.
STEP 3 – Conformity translation certification
Ask for an appointment at the consulate through our online platform in order to obtain the certificate of translation conforming to the original. On the day of the appointment, bring with you the original document, the translation and the contact details for the payment of the consular fee.
Warning!
Israeli students who have undertaken a course of study in Italy are exempt from paying the consular fee if they bring with them a copy of their university card or certification proving their enrollment.
