Pairing
Resinaro
Westminster Legalisation Services
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.
5 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.
Westminster Legalisation Services
Westminster Legalisation Services Ltd, company 10557561, currently active, on the register since January 2017.
- 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.
Westminster Legalisation Services
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.
- 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.
Westminster Legalisation Services
Publishes email and phone and WhatsApp as ways to reach them, stated hours Monday to Thursday 9am to 5.30pm, Friday 9am to 5pm, closed weekends. 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.
Westminster Legalisation Services
Quoted per case rather than published. You will not be able to compare cost against anyone else here without contacting them first.
- Scope
Resinaro
4 of the services this directory tracks, which covers a case end to end.
Westminster Legalisation Services
2 of the services this directory tracks. Narrow enough to be a specialism, not wide enough to cover a whole case end to end.
Westminster Legalisation Services
An FCDO-registered apostille and legalisation service with offices in Covent Garden and Milton Keynes. The practice handles certified translations alongside apostille work, the two stages of foreign-document authentication that Italian consulates require: focused on the administrative side of document preparation rather than legal advice or representation.
FCDO-registered for apostille services, the official body that issues apostilles in England and Wales.
Two physical offices in Covent Garden and Milton Keynes, in-person drop-off and collection options.
Handles certified translation and apostille legalisation under one practice.
