Information about Italian consular services in the United Kingdom. UK residents dealing with Italian authorities -- for citizenship applications, civil registry notifications, or document submissions -- often need to contact the Italian Embassy or one of the Italian consulates in the UK.
Requirements and procedures change. Always confirm current requirements directly with the relevant Italian consulate before submitting any documents.
Italy has a network of consular offices across the UK. The Italian Embassy is located in London and handles diplomatic matters. Several consulates-general in other UK cities handle civil registry, nationality and document matters for residents in their consular district.
For current addresses, opening hours and appointment systems, visit the official Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website or the websites of individual consulates. Details are subject to change.
Many UK residents contact Italian consulates to claim Italian citizenship through Italian ancestry. This process typically requires submission of a series of UK civil documents -- including birth, marriage and death certificates -- and often requires certified translations into Italian.
See our Italian citizenship by descent page for more information on the documents that are often required.
Italian consulates typically require sworn translations of UK documents when they are submitted as part of civil registry or citizenship applications. Requirements may vary between consulates and depending on the nature of the application. Always confirm specific requirements with the consulate handling your case.
When submitting UK documents to Italian consulates or other Italian authorities, a sworn translation into Italian is often required. We provide sworn translations from English into Italian for all common UK document types.

Do you also need an Apostille?
Requirements vary -- many foreign authorities often ask for both a sworn translation and an apostille on the original document. Check with the receiving authority. Our parent service can arrange apostilles alongside your translation.
