What Are the Documents for the ISEE Parificato (Foreign Tax Declaration) to Complete Your Scholarship Request in Italy?

You applied for the DiSCo scholarship and now the CAF asks for your family documents. Which ones exactly, and where do you get them in Tunisia?

The short answer: six documents, five from Tunisia and one from your Italian university. Together they show the CAF who is in your family, what each member earned, what they own and what rent they pay. The CAF turns them into your ISEE parificato (the ISEEUP), the foreign version of the ISEE tax declaration that ranks you for the scholarship.

This page explains each document with a picture of its title, so you can recognise it. For the scholarship itself (amounts, eligibility and dates), see the Lazio DiSCo scholarship for Tunisian students.

1. Which documents does the CAF need for the ISEE parificato?

The DiSCo Lazio call asks for official documents on your family's composition, the income of each member, their real estate and assets at 31 December, and the rent paid for the family home. This is the set we brought, and what each one proves:

Some documents come once per family member. In our file, the tax return and the non-ownership certificate were there once for each member, with the same title on each copy. That is normal: the CAF needs every member's situation, not only one parent's.

2. Certificat de vie collective: who is in your family?

The certificat de vie collective (in Italian certificato di vita collettivo) lists the people who live together as one family: usually your parents and their children. The CAF uses it as the family composition the call asks for, with the name, surname and date of birth of each member.

Where to get it: at the civil status office (état civil) of your municipality in Tunisia. Ask for the French version, which is easier to translate into Italian.

3. Birth certificate: proving who you are

The extrait de naissance (in Italian estratto dai registri dello stato civile, nascite) proves your identity and names your parents. With the family certificate, it links you to the family whose income and assets the CAF counts.

Where to get it: at a municipality civil status office in Tunisia. Again, ask for the French version.

4. Income tax return: what each member earned

The déclaration de l'impôt sur le revenu des personnes physiques (in Italian dichiarazione di imposta sul reddito delle persone fisiche) shows the gross income of each family member. The call asks for the income of a precise year, two years before the call: 2024 for the 2026/27 call. Check that the year printed on the return is the one your call asks for.

Where to get it: a stamped copy of the return filed with the tax administration, from the recette des finances where it was filed. Bring one for each member who earns an income.

5. Certificate of non-ownership: proving there is no property

The certificat de non-propriété (in Italian certificato di non proprietà di beni registrati) states that a person owns no registered real estate. The call asks for every member's real estate at 31 December, so a member who owns nothing proves it with this certificate.

Where to get it: at the regional directorate of the Office National de la Propriété Foncière, under the Ministry of State Domains and Land Affairs. Ask for one for each family member.

If your family does own a house or land, this certificate is not enough: the call asks for each property with its surface area in square metres. Ask your CAF which property documents to bring.

6. Rental contract: the rent your family pays

If your family rents its home in Tunisia, the contrat de location (in Italian contratto di locazione di un immobile ad uso abitativo) shows the rent paid. The call asks for it because rent paid for the family home is counted in the ISEE calculation.

Where to get it: your family already has it, signed with the landlord. If the family owns its home, you do not need it.

7. Certificato di iscrizione from your university

The certificato di iscrizione proves you are enrolled at an Italian university for the current academic year, with your course and year. The CAF asked us for it with the family documents.

Where to get it: download it from your university's student portal or ask the student office (segreteria studenti). It is already in Italian, so it needs no translation or apostille.

8. Do the Tunisian documents need translation and apostille?

Yes. Every Tunisian document must be translated into Italian and apostilled, and the CAF does not accept self-certifications or sworn statements in their place. Have each one translated by a translator on the Italian Embassy's list or the Tunisian Ministry of Justice list, with the apostille on both the original and the translation.

Translation and apostille take time, so start in Tunisia, months before your CAF appointment. The full chain, step by step, is in how to translate and apostille your Tunisian documents for Italy.

9. What do you bring to the CAF appointment?

Book the appointment only at a CAF on the DiSCo partner list, where the service is free. Go in person with your passport, your codice fiscale and the full set of translated and apostilled documents. The CAF also checks your identity for DiSCo.

For the 2026/27 call, the ISEE parificato had to be signed by 10 December 2026, and missing that date excludes you. Check every document against this list before you go, because corrections made later are paid by you. More on the appointment in how to get your ISEEUP at a partner CAF.
