A UK-qualified solicitor can help you produce documents required in the UK or another English-speaking country that recognises the status of a UK solicitor.
They issue or witness documents such as:
- certified copies of original documents, including passports
- powers of attorney
- statutory declarations
- affidavits
- affirmations and oaths
The Italian authorities will not usually accept documents witnessed by a UK solicitor.
Legalising a document
The Italian authorities may ask you to get a UK document legalised or ‘apostilled’.
The UK authorities will not legalise a document certified by a UK solicitor working in Italy. If the UK Legalisation Office requires you to have a document certified before they will legalise it, you must use a UK solicitor or notary working in the UK.
