What is Dichiarazione di Valore?
Dichiarazione di Valore (DV) is an official document that the Italian consulate issues in the country of origin of the diploma or certificate. It confirms:

Procedure for obtaining Dichiarazione di Valore in Armenia
1. Apostille or Consular Legalization
Before a document can be reviewed by the Italian consulate, it must be officially certified:
✔ For Italy, an apostille is sufficient, as both countries are parties to the Hague Convention.
✔ If the document is not subject to apostille (e.g., notarial certificates), consular legalization is required.
2. Translation into Italian
The document must be translated into Italian and certified by an official translator or notary.
3. Submission of Documents to the Italian Consulate in Yerevan
After translation and apostille, the document is submitted to the Italian consulate.
4. Review and Issuance of the Dichiarazione di Valore
The consulate verifies the documents and issues a Dichiarazione di Valore within 2 to 6 weeks.

Dichiarazione di Valore vs. CIMEA and Equipollenza
☑ Dichiarazione di Valore – confirms the authenticity of the document but does not equate it to the Italian standard.
☑ CIMEA (Centro Informazioni sulla Mobilità e le Equivalenze Accademiche) – an independent organization that evaluates diplomas and issues an Attestato di Comparabilità, used in universities and the labor market.
☑ Equipollenza – official recognition of a foreign diploma as equivalent to an Italian one (e.g., for working as a doctor or engineer).
What to choose?
✔ For university admission – Dichiarazione di Valore or CIMEA
✔ For regulated professions – Equipollenza
