Using UK official documents in Italy -- for residency, civil registry, employment, or other official purposes -- typically requires a sworn translation by a Traduttore Giurato. This guide explains what is often required and how to prepare.
Italy public bodies, civil registries and courts require translations prepared by a Traduttore Giurato -- a translator formally accredited by Italian courts (Tribunale). A standard UK certified translation is typically not accepted in its place.
Italian citizenship and civil registry submissions almost always require apostilles on original UK documents alongside sworn translations. For citizenship by descent, every document in the ancestral chain typically needs an apostille.
Our parent service 1Apostille.org.uk can arrange apostilles alongside your translation.
For sworn translation only, email a clear scan or good-quality photo of your document to us. You do not need to post the original. If an apostille on the original is also required, we will advise on posting the original at that stage.
For Italian citizenship by descent, the full ancestral line of birth and marriage certificates may each need to be separately translated and apostilled. Different Italian comuni and consulates have differing specific requirements -- confirm before ordering.
Always confirm requirements with the specific authority in Italy before ordering.

This depends on the generational distance from your Italian ancestor and the requirements of the specific comune or consulate. Typically, every birth and marriage certificate in the ancestral chain requires a separate sworn translation and apostille. Confirm the exact list with the relevant authority before ordering.
No. Italian public bodies require a Traduttore Giurato translation -- a translator sworn before an Italian court. A standard UK certified translation is not accepted.
