Health Report & Vaccination Translation

What are the health report and the vaccination document?

The health report is a doctor/hospital document showing the person’s suitability for a particular procedure (general health situation, say). The vaccination card contains the record of the vaccinations given; it can be obtained via e-Nabız too.

What is it needed for in an Italian application?

It can be asked for in some university enrolments, in residence and health-insurance procedures, or in the health condition of particular programmes. In child/family procedures, the vaccination schedule can be needed for the school/health records in Italy.

Where and how do you get the document?

Obtain the report from an authorised hospital/doctor, and the vaccination record via e-Nabız or the family health centre. The apostille on public health documents can be taken through a Governorate/Provincial Health Directorate-linked process.

The apostille and sworn-translation process

Take the document, have it apostilled where needed and have the sworn Italian translation made. Carrying the vaccine names and dates across correctly with their international equivalents eases their recording into the health records in Italy.

What to watch in the sworn translation

The vaccine names must be translated to the international standards; the report must be current and fit for the purpose (sport/school/residence, say). The document’s validity varies by procedure type.
