Corviado
Two practices in the UK Italian-citizenship field, read alongside one another. Both profiles use the same public-record sources, held to a single editorial standard.

DNA Language
A Glasgow-based Italian-to-English translation practice operated by Marian Dougan, who holds the FITI (Fellow of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting) credential — the senior level of UK linguistic certification. The published client base includes Italian government organisations and the European Central Bank, which signals work at the institutional end of the certified-translation field. Companies House registered as DNA Language Ltd in Scotland since 2010.
Marian Dougan holds FITI status — Fellow of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting, the senior credential in the UK linguistic profession.
Stated client base includes Italian government organisations and the European Central Bank — institutional certified translation work.

Glasgow base provides a Scottish translation option outside the London-centric concentration.
Listed on the Italian Consulate London's translator register.
Both practices serve the same end — Italian citizenship recognition for applicants in the UK. Both operate from United Kingdom. The engagement model differs — specialist on one side, tiered on the other. The choice tends to come down to how the work is best framed for the specific case.
Corviado
A UK-registered firm built around the operational reality of recognising Italian citizenship from outside Italy. The service runs end-to-end — comune document retrieval, certified translation, FCDO apostille, consular submission — with a tiered structure that lets solo applicants and multi-generation family cases each engage at the right scale. Incorporated in 2026 at Companies House under London chambers.
Tiered service structure designed to fit the case rather than impose one shape on every applicant.
End-to-end operational coverage — Italian document retrieval, certified translation, apostille, consular submission — without coordinating across separate vendors.
Companies House registered (17098795) at a verifiable London address.
Bilingual Italian and English correspondence with Italian municipal offices.
Structured as a parent entity (Corviado Ltd) rather than a sole-trader operation, which carries through into engagement letters and accountability.
