Whether you are applying for Italian citizenship by descent, getting married in Italy, purchasing property or dealing with an Italian court or notary, Manchester Speak can help you prepare your UK documents for acceptance by the Italian authorities.
Italian authorities often require UK public documents to be legalised with a Hague Apostille and accompanied by an official translation. Depending on the purpose of the document, additional requirements may apply.
