Autocertifications
In the restricted area on the ESSE3 platform, various types of self-certifications are available for the student to download independently and free of charge as needed.
With Decree Law No. 76/2020 (converted by Law No. 120/2020), self-certification can also be used in dealings with private individuals as well as with Public Administrations and Public Service Managers (Law 183/2011 art. 15)
- Public Administrations and Managers of Public Services:
According to Article 15 of Law 183/2011, as of January 1, 2012, Public Administrations and Public Service Managers may no longer request or accept from private individuals certificates produced by other public offices.
In these cases, the citizen must self-certify the possession of the requirements. Public Administrations and Public Service Managers are obliged to accept self-certifications, under penalty of violation of official duties.
With Decree-Law No. 76/2020, (converted by Law No. 120/2020) (in Articles 2, paragraph 1, and 71, paragraph 4, of Presidential Decree No. 445/2000) self-certification can also be used in dealings with private individuals.Private individuals are required to accept the self-certification statement and may request, with the consent of the declarant, a check from the administration responsible for issuing the relevant certification, which is required to provide written confirmation, including through the use of computer or telematic tools, of the correspondence of what is declared with the findings of the data in its possession. The request must contain an explicit reference to self-certification (Articles 46 and 47 of Presidential Decree no. 445/2000) and the subsequent checks provided for in Article 71, and, as is already the case among public administrations, a view or confirmation of the data can be issued free of charge, without the need to sign specific agreements (for private individuals who wish to carry out checks on the self-certifications received, in Article 71, paragraph 4 of Presidential Decree No. 445/2000, the obligation to define specific agreements with the administrations concerned has been abolished).
The self-certification will then bear the wording "This declaration does not require authentication of the signature and replaces for all purposes the normal certifications required by or intended for a public administration as well as for the managers of public services and private individuals who allow it (Article 15 Law November 12, 2011, No. 183)."
I authorize the private party receiving this declaration in lieu of certification to verify the data contained therein by contacting the competent administrations, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 2, paragraph 1, and 71, paragraph 4, of Presidential Decree No. 445/2000.
Certificates on stamps:
The regulations on stamp duty, in particular Article 1 of the Tariff Part I All. "A", annexed to Presidential Decree No. 642 of 26/10/1972, (reiterated by the Circular of the Revenue Agency of 01.06.2005 No. 29), includes among the acts, documents and records subject to stamp duty from the origin also certificates, extracts of any deed and document and copies declared to be true to the original issued by public officials. Certificates therefore must be routinely issued with stamp duty (a mark currently equal to €16.00 for each certificate requested, for each sheet-composed ex art. 5 paragraph 1 D.P.R. 642/1972, of four sides), unless one of the cases of exemption from stamp duty provided for by the relevant regulations in force applies. The legislation does not know of "personal use" but does know of some exceptions and/or exemptions, which, however, must be declared by the person concerned at the time of the request and provided for mainly in Annex "B" to the same Presidential Decree 642/72.
WARNING: Users are invited to arrange for the payment of the required stamps in virtual form, requesting the amount to be charged to the respective Secretarial Office. The receipt for the payment of virtual stamps, which must be made through the PagoPA System, should be attached to the A13 postgraduate form and sent by e-mail.
