TRANSLATION FOR ITALIAN CONSULATES
CONSULATE-CERTIFIED TRANSLATIONS
to apply in Italy and other consulates
To use Italian translations of foreign records in Italy you need to obtain a certificazione di conformità della traduzione at the Italian consulate having jurisdiction over your foreign document.
Sometimes this is also called 'translation legalization by the Consulate' or 'visto/timbro per traduzione conforme' or 'translation authentication'.
This service is offered in person by appointment or by mail, and the fee is €13 per page. Check your Consulate requirements.
I will prepare your translations to be certified at the relevant Consulate for use in Italy or in an Italian Consulate in a different country.
APOSTILLE
The Apostille makes document valid internationally and should be requested in the Country/State where the document was issued.
It may come as an extra sheet attached on top or on the back of the original record or as a stamp. For a comprehensive list of apostille-issuing authorities in the world: link.

ABOUT
ME
NUMBERS and WORDS
After completing her studies in Electrical Engineering, I worked for several years in a power plant near Milan, Italy, as a project, maintenance, operation, EHS, and commissioning engineer for an international project.
In 2012, she was selected as contract linguist for the European Union (EPSO/CAST/S/1/2011). Later, I became a full-time freelance translator and, in 2017, I passed the Diploma in Translation of the Chartered Institute of Linguists of London (DipTrans, CIOL) from English into Italian. In 2020 she obtained a postgrad in Specialized Legal Translation at the University of Genoa, Italy, in Italian, English, and Spanish.
She is fluent in Italian, English, and Spanish and she has lived in Italy, in the United States, and in Argentina.
