Translating and Collecting Your Documents for the Consulate:
Aside from requesting the Apostille from the Delaware Department of Education, you will need to:
• Translate your Transcripts into Italian
• Translate your Degree into Italian
• Access JCU Italian Translations of Course Syllabi to download the translations of the syllabi of the courses you took at JCU
a) When translating your transcripts please refer to our TRANSCRIPT TEMPLATE. Fill in the missing information according to what was your academic curriculum at JCU. Copy the semester grid as many times as you need it, so you cover all of your semesters/summer sessions at JCU.
Please be consistent: make sure that the course names on your transcript translation coincide with the ones that were listed on the course syllabi translations in our Database.
b) When translating your Diploma please refer to our DIPLOMA TEMPLATE. Fill in the missing information according to what was your academic curriculum at JCU. Delete what you don’t need. For your Major/Minor please select one of the following translations:

SENDING THE DOCUMENTS TO THE CONSULATE:
Along with the Apostilles (Diploma and Transcripts) and with the Translations of the syllabi, of the Diploma and of the Transcripts, remember to include:
• A photocopy of your passport and two photographs in passport size;
• Another copy of your official Transcripts: since the Transcript with the Apostille is not in a sealed envelope, the Consulate also requests for you to send a second official transcript, without an Apostille but in a sealed envelope;
Please contact the Office of the Registrar to request this second Transcript (it would be preferable for you to request it when you order the transcript for the Apostille): registrar@johncabot.edu
• A cover letter which should include your name, your email address and phone number in case the Consulate has questions for you; the address where you wish to receive the Dichiarazione di Valore; cash or credit card information for the shipping fee.
The student is responsible for the return shipping fee.
Shipping within the US: if you want the documents to be sent to an address in the US, you should include a prepaid envelope.
Shipping outside the US: if you wish to have the documents returned outside the US, the Consulate highly recommends express mail, and that you possibly open an account with FedEx/UPS so that the preferred shipping company can be contacted by the Consulate once the package is ready, with no further delays. If this is not possible, you will have to send your credit card details (card holder, number, expiration date).
Once your checklist is complete, you will be ready to ship! Please send your package to the Italian Consulate of Philadelphia.
