Wedding documentation

Getting married in Italy requires some paperwork according to the couple’s nationality, especially if residing within EU or in UK, USA, Australia etc. Each country has established different procedures and documents to celebrate civil weddings, which can be mutually recognised in the country of origin. The Catholic wedding has legal validity though celebrated in the church. We will guide you and provide a full assistance through the whole process to make it easy and smooth.

Once you have collected the official documents in your country you will need, depending on the nationality, to collect other stamps and translations in Italy. This means that you will need to arrange for arriving in Italy not less than 2 days before the date of your wedding.
