Current regulations
Article 15 (Italian Law 183/2011), which entered into force on 1 January 2012, modifies Italian DPR (President of the Republic's Decree) 445/2000, containing the unified code of the laws and regulations regarding administrative documentations. Specifically it it states that "Le certificazioni rilasciate dalla pubblica amministrazione in ordine a stati, qualità personali e fatti sono valide e utilizzabili solo nei rapporti tra privati. Nei rapporti con gli organi della pubblica amministrazione e i gestori dei pubblici servizi i certificati e gli atti di notorietà sono sempre sostituiti dalle dichiarazioni di cui agli articoli 46 e 47" (autocertificazioni). [Certifications issued by public administration offices regarding status and personal information are valid and can be used only in relations between private parties. In relations with the public administration and public services managers, certifications and official deeds (notarial deeds) are always substituted by statements, as stipulated in articles 46 and 47 (self-declarations).] Last change 01/06/2019 08:00 |

Certifications
Certifications issued by Bocconi University with the Bocconi logo have a digital tag in most cases and they are subject to the payment of the imposta di bollo ‘stamp duty’ (for details, see Costs and Payment Methods).
Certificates requested through cert@B and issued by the Academic Affairs Division and the Markets and External Affairs Division have a digital tag (see note) and are available: - in electronic format only, if the recipient is a private organization (‘private use in Italy’); Note: The digital tag’s authenticity can be verified by using the software made available by Bocconi University at the address www.unibocconi.it/certificatedecoder.
Certificates requested through cert@B and issued by the Student Affairs Division, however, do not have a digital tag and will be issued in paper format only, regardless of the use selected by the applicant.
In case of exemption in accordance with Italian law, certifications exempt from the payment of duty stamps can be requested at the Desk of the office responsible for the certification issue.
Requests and the different types of certifications are outlined according to the applicant's specifications, and differ according to one's academic path as follows:

Diploma Supplement
The Diploma Supplement is a supplementary report of the official title obtained at the end of a course of studies in a university or in an institute of higher education. It complies with a European model created as an initiative of the European Commission, European Council and UNESCO-CEPES. The purpose of the diploma supplement is to make the degree more "transparent" because it is supplemented with a description of the curriculum of studies carried out. It makes it easier for employers to be familiar with and evaluate new academic titles and it facilitates academic and professional recognition of Italian titles abroad and the international movement of graduates. The Diploma Supplement contains only official data on the student's academic career, excluding discretionary evaluations, declarations of equivalence or suggestions on recognition. It describes the nature, level, context, content and status of studies carried out and completed by the student.
It is divided into more sections that contain the following information:
A bilingual version of the Diploma Supplement is available only to graduates, and, because it is not subject to a stamp duty ‘imposta di bollo,’ it can only be picked up upon requests submitted exclusively to the Academic Affairs Division Desk (P.zza Sraffa 11 room 218 accessible through the One-Stop Service Center, Piazza Sraffa 13). The timelines for issuing the certification will be communicated when submitting the request.
