List of UK solicitors in Italy

Updated 21 November 2023

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.
