If the country in which the certificate was issued signed the Hague Convention (October 5, 1961), the “Apostille” must be affixed to the title before requesting the Declaration of Value.
The Consular Section receives requests only by appointment, to be requested by e-mail: consolare.gerusalemme@esteri.it
