Certified Translation
Certified Italian Translation for Italy Documents
SiZA Global Solutions Pvt. Ltd. · CIN U82199UW2026PTC253746 · Udyam UDYAM-UP-28-0217175
Italian Dichiarazione di Valore, Italian Embassy New Delhi visa review, Italian Consulate Mumbai DoV submissions, Nulla Osta family reunion at the Sportello Unico per l'Immigrazione, CIMEA academic equivalency in Rome, all read translation done by a translator on the Italian Embassy New Delhi or Italian Consulate General Mumbai empanellment list. SiZA itself is not on the Embassy list; we coordinate with translators who are. The Italian translation runs after the State HRD attestation (Italy rejects SDM on educational documents) and MEA apostille, so the apostille stamp text and the HRD seal also land in the Italian version.
Italian translation has two practical traps: first, the translation must be done AFTER the apostille is placed on the original (because the translation also has to translate the apostille stamp text and any pre-MEA seals). Second, the empanelled-translator format is specific, translator declaration, signature, stamp, and the bilingual layout matter. SiZA Global routes Italian translation to Embassy-empanelled translators and ensures the apostille-first sequencing.
For Italian translation, we work from the apostilled-original scan and confirm the Italian destination at intake (DoV, CIMEA, Universitaly, family reunion, work visa, or civil registration). The per-page rate, the working-day timeline (typically 5 to 10 days for academic and civil documents, longer for multi-page transcripts), and a written quote land before translation begins.
Italian Embassy New Delhi and Italian Consulate General Mumbai both maintain their own empanelled-translator lists, and the two lists do not always overlap. The Embassy in Delhi handles applications from Punjab, Haryana, Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, and the north-east. The Consulate in Mumbai handles Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Odisha. Routing an Indian document through the wrong jurisdiction's empanelled translator gets the submission bounced at the DoV (Dichiarazione di Valore) counter. We confirm jurisdiction by applicant residence at intake, not by where the translator is located.
Italy explicitly rejects SDM-route attestation on educational documents. For Indian degrees going to Italy (Campus France equivalent: Universitaly application, DoV, CIMEA evaluation, scholarship submissions, Nulla Osta family-reunion when one parent is in academia), State HRD attestation from the issuing state is the mandatory pre-MEA step. Maharashtra State HRD (Mantralaya Mumbai), Karnataka State HRD (Bangalore), Tamil Nadu State HRD (Chennai), Kerala State HRD (Thiruvananthapuram), West Bengal State HRD (Kolkata), UP State HRD (Lucknow), AP and Telangana State HRD (Vijayawada and Hyderabad), Delhi State HRD all have their own walk-in and tatkal timelines that we plan against.
Italy's Nulla Osta family-reunion family-member sequence for spouse, child, or parent of an Italian-resident sponsor has a 6-month validity window from issue, and the Indian-side documents (marriage certificate, birth certificate, single status affidavit where applicable) feed into the Sportello Unico per l'Immigrazione (SUI) application. CIMEA academic equivalency for a degree going to an Italian university takes 8 to 12 weeks at CIMEA Rome after submission, with the apostilled and Italian-translated documents going through the Universitaly portal alongside the application.
You can't mess with people's Original documents on an Italian case. The degree certificate going through Maharashtra State HRD before the Italian Embassy DoV counter; the marriage certificate going to a Comune in Florence for civil registration; the birth certificate of an Indian-born child going to Anagrafe; we log each at intake, photograph the apostille and the Italian translator's certification, and ship by tracked international courier. We do not use Porter, Wefast, Borzo or similar third-party parcel apps for an Italian DoV file where Italy specifically rejects SDM and we have to coordinate through the State HRD office in the issuing state. WhatsApp the scan and the Italian destination (DoV, CIMEA, Nulla Osta, Italian university); we route through the Embassy or Consulate empanelled translator your jurisdiction reads.
If You Are Already in Italy
Many Italy cases start with a message from Milan, Rome, Turin, Padua, Bologna, or another city: the university, employer, Comune, Questura, or family office asks for an apostilled Indian document, but the original is still in India. In that situation, the first job is not to panic-courier the document. First confirm the purpose, document condition, jurisdiction, and whether original handling is actually required.
- Share clear scans before your family sends originals from India
- Tell us who is asking for the document in Italy and what exact wording they used
- Check whether HRD, Home Department, SDM/DC, MEA apostille, Italian translation, or conformity is required
- Coordinate with parents, relatives, or your India office only after the document process is clear
- Ask for completion proof and safe return instructions before the final dispatch

Translate after apostille, translator format matters
- 1
This page should explain translation after apostille for student, DoV/CIMEA, family reunion, employment, research, and civil-document use, without implying translation replaces apostille or legalisation.
- 2
For DoV name mismatch under New Delhi guidance, warn that a Tehsildar-issued One and Same certificate may be needed and normal affidavits are not accepted for that mismatch case.
- 3
For clients already in Italy, explain that translation should match the final apostilled Indian document, not an old scan that does not include HRD/Home marks or apostille text.
Translation-timeline factors
- Apostille completion date
- Italian sworn-translation page count and translator turnaround
- International courier transit
Format and sequence mistakes that cause rejection
- Translating before apostille, translator stamps against the apostilled document
- Using a non-Embassy-listed Italian translator for DoV submission
- Treating Mumbai Consulate jurisdiction the same as New Delhi Embassy DoV
Why SiZA on language-specific translation

How SiZA Runs Certified Translation
Before any translation starts, SiZA reviews the apostilled or attested source document, confirms the destination authority's accepted format (sworn / certified / Embassy-empanelled), and shares per-page rate and timeline.
What to send first
Review the requirement
Share the document scan, destination country, purpose, deadline, and where the original document is currently kept.
Confirm the right process
SiZA checks whether the file needs apostille, embassy attestation, HRD/Home, Chamber, translation, visa documentation, or a combined process.
Handle and update
Once the scope is clear, the file moves through the required steps with practical updates by WhatsApp or email.
Proof and return
After completion, SiZA shares completion proof, confirms payment and courier preference, then packs and dispatches the document safely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should Italy documents be translated before or after apostille?
Usually after apostille, especially when the final Italian translation must include HRD/Home marks, MEA apostille text, seals, stamps, and endorsements. If you translate too early, the final authenticated document may no longer match the translation.
Does Italian translation replace DoV, CIMEA or apostille?
No. Translation only converts the document content and authentication marks into Italian. It does not replace HRD/Home attestation, MEA apostille, DoV, CIMEA, Universitaly, visa approval, or family reunion legalisation requirements.
Do stamps, seals and apostille text need to appear in translation?
For many Italy submissions, yes. The translation should make the receiving office understand not only the certificate text but also the apostille, HRD/Home marks, registrar seals, signatures, and handwritten endorsements where relevant.
Can a name mismatch in translation create a DoV or visa problem?
Yes. The translated name should follow passport spelling and represent the source document accurately. If the source document itself has a mismatch, translation will not fix the legal inconsistency; the mismatch should be reviewed before the final packet is prepared.
Should I start Italy documents from apostille, DoV, CIMEA or the visa checklist?
Start from the purpose, not from the stamp. A scholarship file, university admission file, Universitaly pre-enrolment, DoV/CIMEA file, Study D visa file, family reunion file, and work or research visa file can ask for different supporting documents. First download the latest official checklist for your jurisdiction and collect the university or sponsor instruction; then decide the apostille, translation, DoV or CIMEA route.
Which official Italy sources should I verify before sending originals?
For students, verify the Italian university page, Universitaly, Embassy or Consulate DoV guidance, CIMEA if accepted by the university, and the latest VFS Study D checklist for your jurisdiction. For family reunion, work, research, or minors, verify the exact VFS/Embassy/Consulate checklist and any Italy-side Nulla Osta or sponsor instruction before moving originals.
Stories from clients on this language route
“Italy requires Italian translation done by an empanelled translator for study visa documents. SiZA provided the translation with the translator's seal and declaration. The Italian consulate in Chennai accepted the translations without asking for any corrections. I'd tried another service before SiZA , that translation was rejected. The difference was obvious.”
