Why This Guide Stands Out

Testimonial

Discover what our clients think about our service

“I had no idea how complex the paperwork would be for moving abroad until I started. Global Felicity Group stepped in and made everything simple—from getting my FBI background check apostilled to translating my birth certificate for Italian residency. What I appreciated most was how human they were. No bots. No confusion. Just real help from people who get it.”

Michael T., expat in Palermo

“I was overwhelmed trying to get my U.S. documents ready for my move to Sicily—apostilles, translations, shipping—it was a lot. Global Felicity Group handled everything quickly and professionally. Their team answered all my questions, kept me updated, and made sure every document was done right the first time. I honestly don’t think I could’ve made the move without them.”
