Official Ceremony in Italy

Have you already firmly decided to hold a wedding ceremony in Italy?

Dreaming of a real, official ceremony in Italy? AgencyKatrin Moro Weddingsoffers to learn more about several important nuances about how everything happens in reality.

What is required for an official ceremony in Italy

The standard scenario of an official ceremony in Italy, in general, is close to the usual solemn marriage in an ordinary Russian registry office. In addition to the newlyweds, the presence of two witnesses is mandatory.

For an official ceremony in the municipality, first of all, you will need to presentNulla Osta- this document indicates that there are no circumstances preventing your marriage. You will receive such a document at the Italian consulate in your country. So, to obtain Nulla Osta in the territory of the Russian Federation, you will need originals, as well as notarized, translated into Italian and legalized by apostille, copies of:

  • Russian passport;

  • international passports;

  • birth certificates.

For persons who already have experience of living in marriage, notarized copies will be required:

  1. divorce certificates - for those who are divorced;

  2. spouse's death certificates - for widowers and widows;

  3. certificates of previous marriage;

  4. certificates of change of surname - if this fact took place.

Obtaining the Nulla Osta certificate allows you to set the date of the official ceremony in Italy, in the municipality of the selected commune.

To conclude an official marriage in Italy, foreign citizens will need to present:

  • passports of the bride and groom;

  • Nulla Osta references;

  • copies of witnesses' IDs.
