UPDATE - 12 November - All shipments to Brazil are operating as normal.

We have recently received communication from DHL advising they are not sending shipments to Brazil until 11th November 2020.

If you require your documents to be shipped direct to Brazil we can hold the item until DHL resume deliveries to Brazil. Alternatively we can still offer airmail delivery using the local post services. Please note this is not a tracked delivery option. If your document has already been dispatched you will need to contact DHL for an update on your shipment.

26/07/2021 - Update - Documents must now be certified by a Notary Public rather than a solicitor prior to the apostille being issued.

If you have a UK qualification, or you have studied in the UK, and need your certificates to be accepted in Italy you may be asked to obtain a Declaration of Value from the Italian Consulate in London.

Your certificate will need a UK apostille before the Italian Consulate will accept it.

Getting married in another country can be a wonderful occasion with much planning and anticipation beforehand. However, with it comes the bureaucracy of meeting the foreign government’s legal requirements.

If you are a UK citizen getting married outside of the UK you may be asked to provide documentation before the marriage can take place. One document that is often requested is to provide evidence that you are single. This can be done using several different documents and requests vary by country.
