The Declaration of Value is an official document certification issued by the Italian Consulate with territorial jurisdiction and attached to the diploma and transcript relating to a foreign educational qualification. It provides information about the institution\u2019s level, the duration and entry requirements of the course, the grades obtained, and the qualification\u2019s value in the country where it was awarded. This information helps Italian authorities and educational institutions evaluate the qualification for further studies or professional recognition in Italy.<\/p>\n
