Where this office has jurisdiction.
The issuing school—not your current address—determines the Italian office that reviews your file.
Academic records issued here route to the Consulate General of Italy in Boston for Declaration of Value review.
District boundaries, clarified
Boston covers all of New England except Fairfield County, Connecticut, which files with New York. Each New England state issues its own apostille, so the state of the signing school official decides where the apostille comes from.
