Specifics for US Citizens
Overview
Important note: US Citizens now have a choice of two
ways to get married in Italy. Below is the
normal process. However, if any of the following criteria
apply to you then you should consider the new
"no-hassle approval process for US
citizens" - click here.
-
Either or both have been divorced
-
You live far from the nearest Italian consulate
-
You just want to eliminate much of the hassle.
Normal Process for Acquiring Approval to Marry in Italy
- for US Citizens
Briefly, the normal approval process
consists of 4 main steps:
-
both U.S. citizens must make an appointment online
with the American Consulate in Naples for 8 a.m. on a Monday,
Wednesday or Thursday (except Holidays). Before doing so,
please check with us so we can advise what date this should be done.
- Go to:
https://evisaforms.state.gov/acs/default.asp?postcode=NPL&appcode=1
- Scroll down to NAPLES and click where it tells
you to set up an appointment..
- Then click on where it says “MAKE AN
APPOINTMENT”.
Then the page comes up :
- ACS Appointment System – Choose
Service(s). Now click on
“Request Notarial and other services not
listed above”.
- Then, there is another box that you should click
(and read) –
I have read the instructions on the Embassy or Consulate website for
passport services I require. Click on Submit and then a calendar
will come up and each of you need to make an appointment for the day
that you need to be at the consulate and for the same time (pick the
earliest time that is available – 8 a.m.
is preferred) + you need to fill in all the pertinent information
that they require. Continue to follow the instructions.
- Make sure you keep a print out of your
appointment
-
Obtaining an Atto Notorio (a certificate of no
impediment to marriage required) from your designated Italian
consulate in the U.S. - within 3 months of your desired wedding date.
-
Obtaining a Nulla Osta (yet another certificate of
no impediment to marriage) from the American consulate in Naples
when you arrive for your wedding, and then getting it
authenticated by the local Italian government authentication office
(the Prefettura).
-
Obtaining permission and wedding date from the local
town and/or clergy - we do this for you.
Getting the Atto Notorio
Step 1 - Collect all necessary documents for each of the couple. These
are:
Passports or, where appropriate, an Armed Forces identification
card, final approval from his/her commanding officer for the marriage
An original birth certificate (long form) which shows the names of
the parents with Apostille seal.
Where appropriate - divorce or annulment decree or death certificate
of previous spouse with Apostille seal.
Step 2 - Authenticate Documents
All public records issued outside of Italy and intended for use in
Italy must have a "Hague certification," or Apostille, which is a form
affixed to a public record by the appropriate government authority.
In The US - Contact the Secretary of State of the U.S. state issuing
the document under the terms of a treaty.
Step 3 - Have all documents translated into Italian
All documents (except Passport) must be translated into Italian and
the translation must be certified by an Italian Consular Officer before
proceeding to Step 4. The addresses of translation services and the
Italian Embassy or nearest Consulate can be found in the telephone
directory of any large or fairly large city. You may also check with the
web site of the Italian Embassy in your country.
Step 4 - Obtain an "Atto Notorio" from the Italian Embassy
or Consulate.
This document cannot be issued more than 3 months before the
wedding otherwise it will expire.
ATTO NOTORIO consists of a meeting in front of the Italian
Consulate (in the U.S.) with witnesses in which a declaration relative
to the civil status (single, divorced, etc.) of the couple is made. An
official document is then drawn up to present for filing purposes here
in Italy. You must order the form from the Italian Consulate and/or call
and find out when an appointment can be set up for this to be done. Some
Consulates require only 2 witnesses per couple (not relatives) to
witness the Atto Notorio while others can require up to 4 per person to
appear (total of 8). Make sure that you double check on how many
witnesses are needed as it varies from location to location.
Bring the originals (with the Apostille) and the translations of
your birth certificates (and divorce/annulment decree and/or death
certificate of previous spouse, if applicable) to this appointment. Make
sure that the Consulate stamps the translations of all the documents,
including the Atto Notorio.
Note:
PLEASE BE SURE THAT AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE OF THE
ATTO NOTORIO THE DETAIL "REPUBBLICA ITALIANA" AND "CONSOLATO GENERALE
D'ITALIA" ARE SPECIFICALLY WRITTEN, OTHERWISE THE ATTO NOTORIO IS NOT
VALID.
Step 5 - Fax us copies of all of your documents at least 6 weeks
before the event. We will check everything and continue the paperwork on
this end. Keep the originals and hand carry them when you come to Italy
(don't check them at the airport).
Getting the Nulla Osta
Step 6 - Obtain sworn declaration (NULLA OSTA) at the American Consulate
in Naples (not in Rome). Slow Dreams can accompany you for this process
- see Personal Services. We have a guide that charges for this
service.
NULLA OSTA is the final declaration/sworn statement to be made in
Italy before a U.S. Consular Officer at the American Consulate in
Naples, Italy stating that according to the laws to which the citizen is
subject in their home country there is no obstacle to his or her
marriage. All documents must be shown to the Consular Officer at the
time of making this declaration. U.S. military personnel must also
present final approval of his/her commanding officer for the marriage.
American Consulate - The Notarial section is located at Piazza della
Repubblica, Room 201, and the telephone number is, from inside Italy,
081-583-8220/8221 and from outside Italy, you must first dial (011) 39.
This service is performed Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon for a
fee of $50.00 per person (cash only) or equivalent in Euros. This fee is
subject to change. This fee is waived for U.S. military personnel
serving in the Naples Consular District. Both U.S. citizens MUST
schedule an appointment for a notarial service -
https://evisaforms.state.gov/acs/
Step 7 - Authentication of NULLA OSTA at a different location in
Naples
After signing the NULLA OSTA at the Consulate, it MUST be
authenticated with an Apostille seal at the Ufficio Legalizzazioni of
the Prefettura on the 3rd floor. You must first purchase stamps for
each Nulla Osta (EUR 14.63 per each U.S. citizen) - costs of stamps
subject to change.
The Ufficio Legalizzazioni of the PREFETTURA is situated in VIA
VESPUCCI and is open on MONDAYS; WEDNESDAYS and THURSDAYS from 9:30 a.m.
- 12:00 noon
Note: the easiest way to reach the Prefeturra from
the Consulate is by taxi. It will take approximately 15 minutes.
VERY IMPORTANT: Your full name must be written in the same way
on PASSPORTS, ATTO NOTORIO and NULLA OSTA.
Step 8 - Fax us copies of all of your documents at least 6 weeks before
the event. We will check everything and continue the paperwork on this
end. Keep the originals and hand carry them when you come to Italy
(don't check them at the airport).
What Happens in The Town Where You are Getting MarriedI
Step 9 -
The exact process depends on the
type of ceremony you are having:
-
For outdoor weddings (civil or non-catholic
religious) - Just the two of you will
appear
at the town hall with two witnesses
(local residents known to the mayor - supplied by Slow
Dreams) with all required original
documents described above.
The mayor or
registrar will conduct a brief and informal ceremony (dress can be
be informal but respectful). The mayor or minister will
then meet you later (hours or days) at the venue you have chosen
with Slow Dreams. He will then conduct a full Italian
marriage ceremony in front of your guests. Slow Dreams
will provide witnesses and translator for both the town and outdoor
ceremonies - see ceremony
packages.
-
For town-hall weddings (civil) - You
will appear with your guests
at the town hall with two witnesses
(local residents known to the mayor - supplied by Slow
Dreams) with all required original
documents described above.
The mayor or
registrar will conduct a full Italian civil marriage ceremony. Slow
Dreams will provide witnesses and translator for both the town and
outdoor ceremonies - -
see ceremony packages.
-
For Catholic Weddings - see below.
Specifics for UK Citizens
Marriage in Italy
Below are Important new
procedures for British Nationals
resident
in the UK marrying in Italy which has gone
into effect on 1 March 2013. There are several
scenarios depending on your residency and
nationality of both. The most common is when
both parties are British and reside in the UK.
For other scenarios, please refer to the British
consulate website -
https://www.gov.uk/marriage-in-italy to find the
scenario that applies to you.
When both parties
are British
nationals and both
are resident in the
United Kingdom.
You cannot start
the documentation
process more than 6
months before your
wedding date, or 3
months if you are
resident in
Scotland.
There are 4
simple steps that
each British
national, resident
in the UK must
follow to get the
right paperwork for
marrying in Italy.
Step 1 – Certificate
of No Impediment (CNI)
You both
need to
obtain what’s called
a Certificate of No
Impediment (CNI) which is
issued in the UK.
To do this you
must both give notice of
marriage to your
local registry
office. After your
notice has been
posted for the
required period you
will each be issued with
a ‘Certificate of No
Impediment to
Marriage’, signed
and dated by your
local Registrar.
This should take
around 21 days.
It is essential
that the names you
give to the
Registrar, which
will appear on your
Certificates of No
Impediment, are
exactly the same as
written in your
passports. For
example, Jim Harris
on the Certificate,
and James
Harris-Ford on your
passport might mean
that the Italian
authorities will
reject your
paperwork and refuse
to allow the
marriage to go
ahead. Please take
your passport with
you to the Registry
Office, just to be
absolutely certain.
Step 2 – The
Statutory
Declaration
While you are
waiting for your
Certificates of No
Impediment you
should make a
statutory
declaration (1
for each of the
spouses) before a
solicitor or public
notary in the UK.
(Be sure you write
in your full
names EXACTLY as
spelled on your
passports and your
CNIs.)
The declaration
is required by the
Italian authorities
and gives additional
information that
isn’t detailed on
your Certificate of
No Impediment. The
solicitor or public
notary will charge a
fee for this
service. Fees will
vary so it might be
worth shopping
around.
Download the
bi-lingual statutory
declaration.
Step 3 – Legalising
your documents for
the Italian
authorities
When you both
have your Certificates of
No Impediment and
you have both made your
Statutory
Declarations, you
need to send them
to the
Legalisation Office
for each to be
legalised with a
Hague Apostille. The
Legalisation Office
will charge for
this.
Step 4 – Translation
of your Certificate
of No Impediment
Once both these
documents have been legalised, you will
then need to have
the legalised
Certificates of No
Impediment
translated. As it
will become an
Italian legal
document it should
be translated by a
translator based in
Italy and sworn
before the Italian
courts or an Italian
Justice of the
Peace. Note:
Slow Dreams will
provide the
translation services
for this step.
Each British
national resident in
the UK should have:
- a
Certificate of
No Impediment –
issued in the
UK, legalised in
the UK and then
translated
officially in
Italy
- a bilingual
Statutory
Declaration
legalised in the
UK
- passport
Please note,
under Italian law, a
woman who has been
divorced or widowed
and wishes to
re-marry in Italy
cannot do so until
300 days have passed
from the date of her
divorce/death of
husband. It is
possible, however,
to apply for a
dispensation to this
through the Civil
Law Courts (Tribunale
Civile). Further
information should
be obtained from the
town hall (Comune)
of the area where
the marriage is to
take place and you
will probably need
to appoint a lawyer.
Once all of the
above documents have
been prepared,
post directly to
Slow Dreams by a
reputable courier
(e.g., FedEx) that
has a tracking
number. Do not post
by Royal Mail. We
must have these
documents no later
than 10 weeks in
advance of the
wedding date
Finally please
note that your
Certificate of No
Impediment will be
valid for six months
from the date on
your English, Welsh
or Northern Irish
CNI or three
months if presenting
a Scottish
CNI.
Specifics for
Citizens of Eire (Republic of Ireland)
Marriage in Italy
A couple that is to be married in Italy must appear with two
witnesses and make a declaration of their intention to marry before the
Ufficiale di Stato Civile (Civil Registrar) of the city or town where
the marriage is to take place. The couple must present all required
documents (see below) at the time of their declaration. After the
declaration is made, it is usually necessary for banns, or marriage
announcement, to be posted at the local comune (city hall) for eight
consecutive days before the marriage occurs if one of the parties is
Italian or if the foreigner citizen is a resident of Italy. However,
banns are waived by the Ufficiale di Stato Civile if neither party to
the marriage is Italian and neither is residing in Italy.
Marriages
abroad are subject to the residency requirements of the country in which
the marriage is to be performed. There is almost always a lengthy
waiting period.
The couple may be married in a civil or religious
ceremony on the fourth day following the banns.
Local authorities
require the presence of a translator if neither party speaks Italian.
Civil Ceremonies and Who May Perform Them
A civil ceremony is
performed by the Ufficiale di Stato Civile or one of his assistants.
Marriages abroad are almost always performed by local (foreign) civil or
religious officials.
Consular officers may authenticate foreign
marriage documents.
In general, marriages which are legally performed and valid abroad
are also legally valid in the country of residence. Inquiries regarding
the validity of a marriage abroad should be verify with the authorities
of the state where the parties to the marriage live.
Religious Ceremonies
If a religious ceremony is performed by a
Roman Catholic priest, a separate civil ceremony is unnecessary but the
priest must register the marriage with the Ufficiale di Stato Civile in
order for it to be legal. Because of the special Italian requirements
applicable to marriage performed by non-Roman Catholic clergymen, the
latter usually insist on a prior civil ceremony before performing a
religious ceremony in order to ensure the legality of the marriage.
The Church requires the same documents as a civil service, as well as
other documents which you should discuss with the church authorities.
Documents needed:
- Passport
- Birth certificate showing both parents names
- If previously married, evidence of its termination, either with
a death certificate or a final divorce decree
- Nulla Osta
- Atto Notorio
- If either party is under 18, written consent from parents or
guardian
Documents sourced outside of Italy are considered valid
for 6 months only from the date of issue and must be:
- translated into Italian
- authenticated by apostille stamp (both the original and the
translation)
Nulla Osta (No Impediment Certificate)
This is a declaration that there are no legal obstacles to your
marriage. It is sworn before an official of your home country's
Consulate or Embassy in Italy. The Irish citizens can acquire the "Nulla
osta" at the Consular Section of the Department of Foreign Affairs (Tel.
408.25.68)
Divorced women
Note: the local town-halls in our areas ignore the following
regulation.
A woman cannot marry within 300 days of the termination of a previous
marriage unless special permission is obtained from the competent
Italian magistrate. A medical certificate proving she is not pregnant is
necessary to obtain this.
For further information we advise you to get in contact with the
Civil Registrar and the Church of the city or town where the marriage is
to take place or the Irish Embassy in Rome:

Specifics For Australian
Citizens
MARRIAGE IN ITALY
Australian government representatives cannot perform marriage ceremonies
and you cannot get married at an Australian Embassy or Consulate.
BEFORE ARRIVING IN ITALY
· Before leaving Australia, we strongly recommend that you obtain an
Atto Notorio (sworn declaration) from the Italian Embassy or Consulate
in the state in which you reside.
· Make sure you travel with your Australian passport. If you were
married before, bring evidence of the termination of your previous
marriage.
Please note that a divorced woman who wants to marry again within 300
days of the date of her divorce must contact the local Italian
authorities and seek special permission from an Italian magistrate.
Otherwise, she must allow the required period of 300 days to elapse. If
you are widowed, you must bring the death certificate of your previous
spouse. Certificates can be obtained from the Registrar of Births,
Deaths and Marriages. Please note that all certificates
including divorce certificates or death certificates certifying
termination of your previous marriage MUST be
ORIGINALS. Photocopies are not accepted.
ONCE IN ITALY
· In addition to the Atto Notorio, an Australian citizen intending to
get married in Italy will need to make a Sworn Declaration (Nulla Osta).
This Sworn Declaration must be signed, whether you are single, divorced
or widowed, in the presence of an Australian Consular officer at the
Australian Embassy in Rome, Via Antonio Bosio 5, Tel:06/85272246, (or
Australian Consulate-General in Milan: via Borgogna 2 Tel: 02/77674217-

16.00).
Please contact the Consular Section before attending as an
appointment is required in order to obtain the Nulla Osta.
A Nulla Osta literally states that "there are no impediments," or
that one is free to marry. The Nulla Osta (Sworn Declaration) is valid
for six months and costs the Euro equivalent of A$50.00 per Australian
citizen.
Please note that payments can only be made in cash as credit
card services are not available at the Australian Embassy.
· The Nulla Osta must then be legalised by the Uffico Legalizzazioni of
the Prefettura. The details of the
Prefettura in Rome are: Viale Ostiense, 131L, 2nd floor, Scala B,
Rome - open Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 9:00am-12:00pm.
Before going to the Prefettura, you will need to purchase a revenue
stamp (marca da bollo) which costs Euro 14,62 (approx.) at a tobacconist
(tabaccaio) to take with you.
· If you are unable to obtain an "Atto di notorietà per uso matrimonio"
(also known as Atto Notorio) from an Italian Consulate in Australia, you
may obtain one from the Tribunale Civile in Italy. Below we have
provided contact details and opening hours of the
Tribunale Civile in Rome, although Atti Notori may be obtained from
any Tribunale Civile in Italy.
You may call the Tribunale Civile in Rome to set an appointment at
the number below between the hours of 09.00 and 13.00 Monday to Friday.

By mail or courier:
Embassy of Canada
Consular Affairs (LN)
Via Zara, 30
00198 Rome
Italy
In person: same as above, Monday to
Friday from 09:00 to noon
What to Do After Obtaining the
Declaration
- Present the declaration to the
competent "Prefettura - Ufficio
Legalizzazioni" (provincial authority)
to be formally authenticated. The Prefettura in Rome is located at: Via Ostiense
n.131/L, 2nd floor, tel. 06-67106948.
Typically the office is open from Monday,
Wednesday and Friday - 9:00 - 12:00.
Before going to the Prefettura,
you will need to purchase a revenue
stamp (marca da bollo) which costs €
14,62 (approximately) at any Tabacchino/Tabaccaio
(tobacco store) for each document
you received from the Embassy/Consulate
- After it has been authenticated, you
must present it to the Marriage Office
of the Municipality in Italy. Banns are
waived if neither party is Italian nor
residing in Italy.
- The Municipal authorities will
request the couple to return (usually in
2 or 3 days) with 2 witnesses PLUS an
interpreter (if one or both parties are
not familiar with the Italian language)
to execute a declaration before the "Ufficiale
dello Stato Civile" (Registrar of Vital
Statistics) of the Municipality.
Arrangements are then concluded and a
date is scheduled for the civil marriage
ceremony. Two witnesses PLUS an
interpreter (if necessary) must be
present at the civil marriage ceremony.
Although the Italian authorities usually
extend assistance to foreigners wishing
to marry in Italy, a date for a civil
marriage ceremony is generally NOT
scheduled unless the above- mentioned
declaration (see point 3) has first been
executed by the couple.
The waiting period (from the date the
required documents are presented to the
marriage office to the date of the civil
marriage ceremony) may vary depending on
the period of the year and on the number
of requests received by the
municipality.
Some municipalities levy marriage fees
for non-residents.
Please note: Until recently, a woman
whose previous marriage was terminated
within the last 300 days had to obtain a
waiver from the competent "Procura della
Repubblica" (Court) in Italy in order to
marry in Italy. Depending on the locality,
this law may no longer apply. You are
advised to check with the “Comune”
where you wish to marry.
The Canadian Embassy in Rome cannot
assist with marriage arrangements. If you or
a delegated person are unable to make the
necessary arrangements with the local
Municipality, you may wish to contact an
agency to assist you.
RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES
Roman-Catholic
In the case of a religious marriage ceremony
to be performed at a Roman-Catholic Church,
you must present the declaration issued by
the Embassy, duly legalized by the competent
Prefettura, to the Parish Priest in Italy,
in addition to all documents required by the
Church. The Parish Priest will arrange for
the registration of the religious marriage
with the competent Italian Vital Statistics
authorities. The marriage must be so
registered in order to have civil value in
Italy.
Non Roman-Catholic
To our knowledge, marriages performed at
non-Roman Catholic houses of worship require
a civil ceremony as well
.
ADDITIONAL CATHOLIC AND "MIXED" WEDDING REQUIREMENTS AND PAPERWORK
See
www.slow-dreams.com/catholic-weddings-italy.htm
Specifics for
Non-Catholic Religious Weddings
At the end of the appropriate civil process for you, there will be a
religious ceremony. This may be anywhere outside, e.g.,
garden, beach, etc or maybe in a Catholic church. There are
no non-catholic churches in the area. However, the bishop of
Maratea usually approves the use of a Catholic church.
Religious ceremonies can be held on the same day as the preceding civil
ceremony.
Other Information
Fees: Fees for documents will typically
amount to a few hundred dollars. There will be fees associated with the
American Consulate, Translations, Apostilles, and ordering of public
documents
