Pairing
Resinaro
Fragomen LLP
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.
The pairings on this site are not rankings. They are two practices read together, sourced from the same public record, written in the same register.
Resinaro
A UK sole trader working the consular side of Italian bureaucracy rather than the legal side: certified translations, Prenot@Mi passport appointments, AIRE registration, consular birth registration, and document preparation for recognition by descent. Prices are published per service rather than quoted, which is unusual in this field and lets an applicant cost a case before making contact. Operated by Giuseppe Giona, who states plainly on the site that this is not a law firm and has no connection to any consulate.
Publishes a price for each service rather than quoting per case, so a case can be costed before any contact is made.
Certified translations carry a verification code on the document, which is checkable by whoever receives it.
Covers the consular steps that sit either side of recognition: AIRE, birth registration, passport appointment.
States its own limits on the site, including that it is not a law firm and not connected to any consulate.
8 dimensions separate them on the public record. Everything else this directory tracks reads the same for both.
- Registration
Resinaro
No Companies House registration found. That is consistent with a sole trader or a partnership, neither of which files there, so it is a gap in the record rather than a finding against them.
Fragomen LLP
Fragomen LLP, company OC324170, currently active, on the register since November 2006.
- Regulation
Resinaro
No UK regulator found. Assistance with Italian citizenship is not, on our reading, reserved work under UK law, so most providers in this directory are in the same position.
Fragomen LLP
Regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, SRA number 459836.
- Information rights
Resinaro
Registered with the Information Commissioner's Office, number ZC110333. Anyone handling your birth certificate and passport is processing personal data, and the register is where that is declared.
Fragomen LLP
We have not searched the ICO register for this provider, so we hold nothing either way. That is a gap in our research and not an observation about them.
- Dispute resolution
Resinaro
Their own site names no alternative dispute resolution scheme, so if a complaint cannot be settled directly there is no ADR body named to escalate to.
Fragomen LLP
Member of the Legal Ombudsman. If a complaint cannot be settled directly, there is a body to escalate to.
- How to reach them
Resinaro
Contact is by email only, stated hours Wednesday to Friday, 1pm to 4pm, a stated reply time of about 48 working hours. Published on their own site, so it is checkable and it is what they hold themselves to.
Fragomen LLP
Publishes phone and a contact form as ways to reach them. Published on their own site, so it is checkable and it is what they hold themselves to.
- Pricing
Resinaro
Published on their own site, £17 to £800.
Fragomen LLP
No pricing found on their site. Not unusual in this market, and not a criticism, but it does mean the cost is unknown until you ask.
- Independent reviews
Resinaro
We hold no rating for them, and no record of when anyone last looked, so read this as a gap in our data rather than a finding about theirs.
Fragomen LLP
2.5 out of 5 on Trustpilot from 7 reviews. A sample that small moves several points on a handful of reviews, so read the reviews rather than the number.
- Scope
Resinaro
4 of the services this directory tracks, which covers a case end to end.
Fragomen LLP
2 of the services this directory tracks. Narrow enough to be a specialism, not wide enough to cover a whole case end to end.
