## Checks and verifications

*[Versione italiana](https://www.unipd.it/verifiche-accertamenti)*

The University carries out checks on the truthfulness of the self-certifications produced by the student (pursuant to Italian Presidential Decree no. 445 dated 28 December 2000) by means of both random and targeted checks if reasonable doubts on the truthfulness of the documents acquired or on their content arise.

Direct checks on the truthfulness of the information provided may be carried out by the Guardia di Finanza (Italian Financial Guard) at financial institutions and other financial intermediaries dealing with movable assets, in accordance with article 11, paragraph 6 of Italian Prime Ministerial Decree no. 159 dated 5 December 2013. Checks may also be carried out on the truthfulness of the family situation declared, as well as comparisons between income and property data.\
As per art. 10 of Italian legislative decree no. 68/2012, anyone submitting untrue statements is subject to an administrative sanction. The payment of this penalty must be made in compliance with the laws in force.
