Video consultations for qualification recognition

Those with a foreign qualification often do not know where to begin, which route to follow or which documents to prepare. A consultation by video call makes it possible to clarify the case directly, wherever you are, in Italy or abroad, and to come away with a precise plan. And if you wish, we do not stop at advice: we follow the case through to recognition.

What the video consultation is

It is an individual meeting by video call, on Teams or WhatsApp, devoted to the recognition of your foreign qualification. In a direct conversation with Michela de Julio we examine your situation, the qualification obtained, the country of origin and the objective you wish to reach, and together we define the correct route. It is the same level of assistance as a practice in person, without constraints of place.

Who it helps

It is for those who have studied or trained abroad and must make their qualification count in Italy, to enrol at university, to take part in a public competition, to practise a regulated profession or to obtain equipollenza. It is also designed for those living abroad who cannot reach the office in person but want a qualified opinion before beginning the case.

How it works

After the request we arrange an appointment and, where useful, you send us the main documents in advance, the qualification, the study plan and any certificates. During the video call we analyse the case, clarify your doubts and identify the route, the competent authority and the documents required. We answer any question on administrative recognition procedures and clarify the preliminary steps for starting the case. At the end you have a clear picture of what to do and in what order.

From advice to full handling of the case

If you wish, we do not confine ourselves to guidance. We follow the whole procedure, from gathering and preparing the documents through to lodging the application and dealing with the competent body. We explain in detail how to obtain the Declaration of Value and the CIMEA comparability and verification statement, we take care of sworn translations, legalisations and apostilles, and we maintain relations with universities, ministries, professional orders and diplomatic missions. Where needed, we draw on a network of lawyers, notaries and official translators.

What you obtain

You come away from the consultation with the purpose correctly classified, the right route among academic recognition, administrative equivalence and professional recognition, the list of documents to prepare and the form required, the translations and legalisations needed and the foreseeable timeframes. A correct set-up from the outset avoids inadmissible applications, requests for additions and wasted time.

Why rely on a specialist

The recognition of a foreign qualification is a technical matter, in a fragmented system where each procedure has its own rules, authorities and documents. A wrong choice of route, or a document in the wrong form, costs months. Discussing it directly with someone who handles these cases every day, rather than relying on generic information found online, is the quickest way to understand what is really needed in your case.

Who looks after you

The consultation is conducted by Michela de Julio, legal consultant and official translator, a specialist in administrative law applied to academic and professional recognition, with an office in London, a network of partner law firms across Italy and long experience before Italian bodies and ministries.
