Update: @smithsydny so I called the contact you gave me. he agreed 20k for certifying 6 docs at the MOE and MFA. Though I'll send the documents to him via these Abuja transporters. I guess that price is ok.

I even just remembered I didn't count my transcripts, that makes it 8 docs (but 9 pages).

Primary school certificate (affidavit actually, cos my primary school misplaced it), ssce, bsc certificate, msc certificate, b.sc transcript (2 pages), msc transcript.

Thanks guys, this thread has actually been more useful than the italian website or contact phone lines

@ all. Another question please. At the point of submitting doc's to the embassy for legalisation, do I get to keep my originals? If I have to submit my originals as well, then I'd rather back out of the whole process. I'll be submitting the docs for legalisation in the last week in may. Considering the amount of time legalisation takes, It might disrupt some of my other plans in which I will need my originals latest first work day of july


I also learnt the visa fee is free for students.

smithsydny:
she's at ikoyi now?

Good evening. Are you also geting your london degree certified, translated and legalised in Nigeria? would have thought that since it was obtained in the UK, it should be done there. Or is it permissible? Asking because I am in a similar shoe and wondering how to proceed. thanks

ayooluniran:


Lol. I dey bobo myself.

Do I have to submit the original documents/certificates when submitting for legalisation? , or just the certified and translated copies? Can't leave the originals for them to keep it for the 6-7weeks needed for legalisation.

Dbubu:

Sorry, I meant formerly. She's at Onikan now. She'll send her address when you contact her. I no longer have it.

smithsydny:
if u can't keep everything with them to get your dov. U will have to provide your dov yourself

smithsydny:
Please lemme ask a question oo.. The London guys are u going for phd ? Did you get admission for the PhD? So I know what to advice oo.

ayooluniran:
:
I confirmed that

The guy that works at the embassy told me it could take between 3-5 months. I asked if a fast track is possible.....he said yes.....that it could take about a month......but it's not guaranteed and you go cough out some change Mehn!

ayooluniran:
Update: for the guys who need to certify/ legalise their foreign degree. I spoke to one of the guys who works with the Italian embassy......he said it's best to go to their office in Lagos to clarify how they want such docs legalised.

Dbubu:
Okay, I just wanted to mention the particular translator that did mine with soft copies. U're welcome.

Chinuaj:
please do you have her contact?

smithsydny:
oga your just quoting everyone what do u want.

Chinuaj:
I have so many questions and I have dropped my number whoever wants to help should contact me on whatsapp. My dad's burial is next week so I hardly have time to go through the thread here.

Faithdamsel:

Any degree not gotten from Nigeria cannot be legalized there. SEnd it to London and get your DOV from there.

ayooluniran:

Yes, but the problem is that you have to be physically present in london to do certified copies of the original certificate and transcript via a solicitor or notary public. Then translate the document.

hard copies of the certified copies are then sent to the legalisation office of the foreign and commonwealth office for legalisation. After that, you send the legalised docs to the Italian embassy in London to get your DOV.


Or @faithdamsel do you know how it can be done in London in absentia
