Guide to Necessary Wedding Documents

Getting married in Italy involves providing specific documents from your home country that certify your identity and that there are no legal impediments to your marriage. These documents must then be translated into Italian and certified by the relevant authorities in your country and then again by your consular services in Italy when you arrive, and then by the Italian authorities before you get married. Although it is possible to do this in three months, it is ideal to allow six months to get everything organised. Below is a list of documents you will need to get married in Italy. Once you have compiled the paperwork we can assist with the presentation of documentation to the Italian authorities when you arrive.


Documentation for British Citizens:
- Certificate of Non Impediment from your local registry office,
- Original birth certificates
- Passports
- Decree of divorce if you have been married formerly and under Italian law you must have been divorced for more than 300 days
These documents must be presented to the British Consulate in Italy in order to obtain the Nulla Osta - a declaration that there are no impediments under Italian law to your marriage.

Documentation for American Citizens:
- Birth certificate
- Passports
- Divorce, annulment or death certificate in the case that one of the spouses was formerly married. If one of the spouses has been married before, under Italian law at least 300 days must have lapsed since the divorce.
The Italian translations of each document must be authorised and stamped by the Secretary of State in the issuing state. Then you will need an Atto Notorio from the Italian consulate in the USA signed by 2 witnesses which declares there are no impediments to the marriage under US law. Upon arrival in Italy you must obtain a Nulla Osta at the US Consulate in Italy.

Documentation for Canadian Citizens

In accordance with Article 116 of the Italian Civil Code, non-Italians wishing to be married in Italy are required to present to the Italian authorities a "NULLA OSTA" (Certificate of non-Impediment) or equivalent documentation.
Canadian Federal Government does not issue "Nulla Osta". However, to assist Canadians in meeting the requirement for appropriate documentation, the Canadian Embassy prepares a declaration containing the relevant information. This declaration is accepted by the Italian authorities for the purposes of Article 116.
To obtain this document from the Embassy, a Canadian citizen must present himself/herself to the Consular Section and must complete and swear an Affidavit to the effect that there is no impediment to the proposed marriage. The applicant should bring and present the following documents.
Valid Canadian passport
Proof of Canadian citizenship (Canadian birth certificate, Canadian citizenship certificate, Certificate of Registration of a Birth Abroad, Certificate of Retention of Canadian Citizenship)
Parents consent if the person is under marriageable age
Final Divorce decree or death certificate of previous spouse (if divorced or widowed)
Complete details of the future spouse are also required (full name, father's and mother's maiden names, date and place of birth, residence).
Document issued by the competent Provincial Vital Statistics authorities in Canada confirming that no registration of marriage appears in their records
A woman whose previous marriage was terminated within the last 300 days must obtain a waiver from the competent "Procure della Repubblica" (Court). This is issued on presentation of medical evidence that she is not pregnant.
To obtain the required document from our Embassy an appointment is required. (This is something we do for you)
Please telephone at Embassy in Rome: 39 6 445 98 426 and ask for Mrs. LICATA to obtain an appointment and/or clarification of the procedure.
The declaration issued by the Embassy must then be presented by the applicant to the "Prefecture di Roma - Ufficio Legalizzasioni", Via IV Novembre, 119/A, ROME, to be formally authenticated.
Once the document as been obtained and legalized, it must be presented to the Marriage Office of the Municipality (this we do). Banns are waived if neither party is Italian nor residing in Italy.
