Document consulting: your case reviewed before you spend

One hour with someone who signs official documents every day. You leave with the full list, in the right order, with no unnecessary steps.

Who it is for

  • Anyone with scattered documents who does not know where to start.
  • Anyone who has received a request for further evidence from a comune, questura or consulate.
  • Anyone who wants to confirm eligibility before spending.
  • Anyone already underway who suspects a step was taken out of order.

What you receive

  1. Diagnosis of your file — what you have, what works, what must be redone.
  2. Checklist in execution order — rectify, issue, apostille, translate, file.
  3. Deadline map — what expires, what does not, in what sequence to issue.
  4. Fixed quote for the sworn translation of the file, if you decide to go ahead with me.

Why the consultation pays for itself

The most expensive part of a document process is not the translation or the apostille — it is doing it again. Confirming the path before spending is the cheapest decision in the whole process, and the only one you cannot make afterwards.

Who you are speaking to

Not every translation carries legal weight in Italy. A sworn translation (traduzione giurata or asseverata) only exists when a qualified translator takes legal responsibility for the text and swears it before the competent authority.

  • Tribunale di Roma — listed in the register of technical and specialised professionals.
  • Italian Chamber of Commerce — officially registered in the ruolo periti ed esperti.
  • 15 years living in Italy, inside the system that issues and receives these documents.
  • Over 50,000 documents translated in Portuguese, Italian, English and Spanish.

In practice: the document I sign enters the Italian system directly, with no need for additional consular validation.

Frequently asked questions

What do you need to get started?
A short description of your goal, the receiving authority, and legible copies of the documents you already have.

Do you work with clients outside Italy?
Yes. Everything is handled remotely, by WhatsApp and email, with hard copies posted when required.

How long does it take?
It depends on volume and on the receiving authority. The deadline is stated in the quote, before any work begins.

How does the session work?
Remotely, by video call or WhatsApp, with documents sent in advance so that I arrive at the call having already reviewed your case.

Does the consultation include the translation?
No. It is booked separately; if you go ahead, you receive a fixed quote for the whole file.
