Pairing
Westminster Legalisation Services
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.
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.
Companies House registered (10557561) since 2017 with a Covent Garden address.
6 dimensions separate them on the public record. Everything else this directory tracks reads the same for both.

- Regulation

- Pricing
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.
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
Westminster Legalisation Services
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.
