cimea-diplome.it

CIMEA-Diplome is the online platform of CIMEA, the Italian information centre on academic mobility and equivalence. It issues CIMEA Statements of Comparability and Verification for foreign upper secondary and higher education qualifications, and offers ARDI, a free automatic recognition database that generates Statements of Correspondence for qualifications from Lisbon Recognition Convention signatory countries. Certificates issued through the platform are notarised on a blockchain.

Customers are holders of foreign qualifications who want to use them in Italy, including refugees with international protection status in Italy, who can apply free of charge through a dedicated platform. Statements are shared with Italian higher education institutions and employers. Services are paid per request, with separate fees for each service.

CIMEA has carried out its activity since 1984 and is the official Italian centre within the NARIC and ENIC networks of the European Union and the Council of Europe and UNESCO. Standard processing takes 60 working days, and comparability requests can be expedited to 30 working days for an additional fee.
