Pairing
Westminster Legalisation Services
Fragomen LLP

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.
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, case-led on the other. The choice tends to come down to how the work is best framed for the specific case. SRA regulation falls on one side only; the procedural assumptions that follow — professional indemnity, formal complaints process — sit with that side.
