Certificates and Parchments
Certificates, in Italian and/or in English, are issued by the Ph.D. Office upon request. They can be used to certify one’s status as a Ph.D. Candidate to Italian private entities, foreign private and public entities, Italian embassies and consulates abroad.
In order to certify one’s status to the Italian public administration, a self-declaration affidavit (art. 15 of the Law 183/2011) should be used.
To obtain a certificate, you must:

- pay through PagoPA
- forward the payment receipt or notification of payment to dottorati@unito.it
Once this process is completed, certificate(s) (scanned copies) are sent via UniTO email.
The revenue stamp payment is not required if exemption is applicable, according to Presidential Decree n. 642/1972, annex. B art.11 and following provisions (circolare dell’Agenzia delle Entrate n. 29/E 1st June 2005).

The parchment can be collected in person, or by a delegated person, or sent through a courier. The delegate must have a written authorization, their own identity document and a copy of the applicant's document.
NB: the parchment is written in Italian only and it may be issued several months after the application submission.
