French term or phrase: Vu par Nous (see explanation)
It's a University certificate. I know there are similar occurrences in the term DB (http://www.proz.com/kudoz/79651) but here it's just the writing above the signature:

"Vu par Nous, Recteur de l'Université"
(followed by signature)

Anything specific comes to mind? Perhaps someone in an English-speaking country has such a certificate?

neutral  writeaway: witnessed, certified but approved is doubtful. never saw a diploma with an approval. Are diplomas approved in Italy?

disagree  Drmanu49: agree with writeaway, I have never seen a certificate "approved". Otherwise the French would read "Lu et approuvé" or somthing close.

agree  writeaway: yes, have never seen a diploma approved. transfer papers yes, but not an official "certificate", whatever that is. a bit of original French context would be nice in any case
