The Italian marriage certificate is a document attesting to the marriage between two people on Italian territory. In some cases it is requested in order to obtain Italian citizenship, in particular that of jure sanguinis.

The Italian marriage certificate is issued by the municipality where the marriage took place or the transcription of the same (if it was celebrated in a foreign country), is part of the certificates of civil status. In order to request it, it is, therefore, necessary to be aware of the name, surname, date of birth of the two spouses and the municipality where it was celebrated or transcribed.

Which marriage certificates can be requested and who can request them?

Italian marriage certificates are divided into 4 types and can all be requested on Sportello Certificati:

Marriage certificate – certifies the celebration of the marriage between two people and shows the personal details of the spouses, the place and the date of the deed.

Multilingual or international marriage extract – contains the same information as the marriage extract in Italian, but is issued in a multilingual format by the Civil State of the municipality of application. It includes about 10 languages: Spanish, Portuguese, English, French, and German. (Usually required to obtain Italian citizenship by bloodline jure sanguinis).

In some municipalities, for the issue of the certificate, extract or copy of the marriage certificate, a specific proxy may be required accompanied by a copy of the identity document. In this case, it will be our care to inform you about further documents to be shown.

From which year can I request the Italian wedding certificate?

Italian wedding certificate (any type) can be requested for all marriages celebrated in Italy since 1871. However, some municipalities are in possession of registers prior to 1871. When it is not possible to obtain the Italian wedding certificate you can request a religious marriage certificate issued by the church where the marriage was celebrated. For births prior to 1871 it is advisable to contact our customer service before placing your order.

What is the legalization of the document with an apostille (Hague Convention of 1961)?

Marriage certificates must be legalized to be valid outside the European Union. For all countries that are parties to the 1961 Hague Convention (115 countries see list of countries) the procedure of apostille legalization has been introduced. This procedure is faster than the ordinary legalization procedure.

If the document is to be used in a country that has acceded to the convention, the certificate can be legalized with apostille which in Italy is affixed by the competent prefecture of the capital where the document was issued.

To request legalization with an apostille, it is important to indicate the country where the certificate is to be used and verify that it has adhered to the convention. Please note that the time taken to affix an apostille may vary depending on the office to which the request is made.
