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.”
— Jennifer L., now living in Ragusa, Sicily
