In compliance with the Stability Act (entered into force in Italy on 1st January 2012), certificates and affidavits can always be replaced by self-declarations made by individuals (Articles 46 and 47 of Presidential Decree No. 445/2000) who need to present these documents to the Public Administration and the authorities managing public services. The Public administration is bound to accept these self-declarations, reserving itself the right to conduct verifications and check the truthfulness of their contents.

Guidelines for generating certificates via online procedure (written in Italian and valid in Italy only)
Log in to your personal page of the Teaching Portal and select: Online Services, tab - Certificates, portlet –Print certificates. Please note that these certificates are written in Italian only and bear the phrase “Firma omessa ai sensi del D.Lgs. n.39 del 12/2/1993 art.3” (signature is omitted in accordance with Legislative Decree no. 39 of 12/02/1993, art. 3).
Step 1 - Preparing your certificate:choose which information you want to include in your certificate from the left menu. Compulsory information (such as personal data and the “omitted signature” phrase) are automatically included by the system and cannot be removed.
Step 2 – Print preview and number of revenue stamp needed: You can generate a print preview of your certificate at any time. Please note that after clicking the "Print" button, you will no longer be able to modify your certificate. We recommend you carefully check the certificate to find out how many revenue stamps you need.
Step 3 - Printing your certificate: During this last phase, you must enter the 14-digit code that you can find on the revenue stamp (that has to be purchased before you print your certificate). After printing your certificate, you need to stick the revenue stamp in the dedicated box on the top right side corner of the page. The code of the revenue stamp must correspond to the code shown on the certificate. We remind you that a certificate without revenue stamps is void. For this reason, the certificate bears the phrase: “Il presente certificato non è valido se privo della marca da bollo. N. marca da bollo: xxxxxxxxxxxx" (this certificate is not valid without the revenue stamp. Revenue stamp code: xxxxxxxxxxxx).
