Why Apostille Documents for Italy
If you need to use a UK document in Italy for residency, Italian citizenship by descent (jure sanguinis), marriage or property matters, it will need an Apostille certificate. Birth and marriage certificates, certificates of no impediment, statutory declarations and ACRO checks are the most commonly apostilled UK documents for Italian use.
Italy is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, with the Convention having entered into force in 1978. Once your UK document has been apostilled by the FCDO, no further attestation at the Italian Embassy or Consulate is needed for it to be accepted by Italian authorities.
