Italy is the romance capital in the world and many couples choose to marry in this beautiful country. Being aware of the legal requirements involved is important in order for you to avoid problems in registering and being legally married in this country.
In order to be married you must first apply for what is called a Nulla Osta which is required by the Italian government by any couple who intends to wed. The steps that must be taken to obtain one of these depends on your country of origin but they are relatively simple.
There are a number of documents you may have to hand in in order to receive a Nulla Osta. These include, but may not be limited to, your birth certificate, divorce papers (if you have been previously married) and other passport. Only originals or certified copies are allowed.
Once you are married in Italy you will receive a marriage certificate. When you arrive back in your home country it is important that you register the marriage in your own country. This can easily be done by handing in the certificate to the Registry of Births, Marriages and Deaths.
