Certificates and self-certifications

Certificates or self-certifications? How they works

Public Administrations (PA) and private subjects who are managers of public services CANNOT REQUIRE or ACCEPT from private subjects the certificates produced by the offices of the PA (article 15, Law no. 183/2011).

You have to use a certification if you need to provide a PA or a private subject who is the manager of public services with a certificate regarding your enrolment and University career.

Self certification for private subjects

Even private entities (banks, insurance companies, service agencies, etc.) have to accept self-certification or substitute declarations of the required criteria (Article 30-bis of Decree Law No. 76/2020, converted into Law No. 120 of September 11, 2020).

In this case, in addition to the self-certification, you also need to submit:

• written consent to the processing of your data
• a copy of a valid identity document

Unife enrollment/career self-certification templates

Unife has set up self-certification templates that you can download from your area riservata.

To log in, you need to use your Identità Digitale SPID .

If you haven’t done it yet, please request it as soon as possible. If you are a non-Italian citizen who lives abroad without an Italian tax code or identity document, you don't need to activate SPID.
