(legalized), as described in the following
paragraph.
TO BE DONE IN ITALY: Authentication (legalization)
of the aforesaid declaration must be done
by the Legalization office of the Prefecture.
Usual office hours are from 10am to 1pm
Monday through Saturday. The required legalization
can be obtained at any Prefecture. There
is one in every provincial capital.
THESE TWO ABOVE STEPS ONLY TAKE A FEW MINUTES
AND CAN BE ARRANGED FOR THE SAME MORNING
OR AFTERNOON IN ONE OF THE 5 CONSULATES
THROUGHOUT ITALY.
OUR STAFF ACCOMPANIES YOU THROUGHOUT
Atto Notorio. This is a declaration, in
addition to the sworn statement described
under point 4 stating that according to
the laws to which the citizen is subject
in the United states there is no obstacle
to his/her marriage. This declaration is
to be sworn to by two witnesses (a witness
may be if any nationality, but must be over
18, with proper identification), before
an Italian Consul outside of Italy, or in
Italy before a Court official. US citizens
coming to Italy to get married are urged
to obtain this declaration for a Consul
of Italy, before leaving the United States.
In Italy an appointment should be arranged
in advance. A fee of 50.000 lt. Lira is
charged
A woman whose previous was terminated within
the last 300 days must obtain a waver from
the Procura della Repubblica (District Attorney),
which is issued on presentation of a medical
certificate that she is not pregnant.
BANNS AND MARRIAGE CEREMONY
However banns are automatically waived if
neither party of the marriage is an Italian
citizen or a resident in Italy.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It is also emphasized that the documentation
listed at the beginning of the information
sheet should be procured in the order in
which it appears.
All documents originating outside Italy
(Birth Certificate, Divorce Decree, etc...)
MUST BE TRANSLATED INTO ITALIAN. Both the
original documents and the translations
MUST BE LEGALIZED for use in Italy with
so-called "APOSTILLE" stamp, in
accordance with the Hague Convention on
the legalization of foreign public documents.
In the USA, the "Apostille" stamp
is placed by the Secretary of State in the
State where the document was issued.
Under Italian law, all public documents
- regardless of their origin, are considered
to be VALID FOR ONLY 6 MONTHS from the date
of issue. Americans are therefore advised
to make sure that all documents to be submitted
to Italian authorities have not been issued
more than six months ahead of the marriage. |

to present to the Italian authorities a
"NULLA OSTA" (Certificate of non-Impediment)
or equivalent documentation.
Canadian Federal Government does not issue
"Nulla Osta". However, to assist
Canadians in meeting the requirement for
appropriate documentation, the Canadian
Embassy prepares a declaration containing
the relevant information. This declaration
is accepted by the Italian authorities for
the purposes of Article 116.
To obtain this document from the Embassy,
a Canadian citizen must present himself/herself
to the Consular Section and must complete
and swear an Affidavit to the effect that
there is no impediment to the proposed marriage.

following documents.

age

also required (full name, father's and mother's
maiden names, date and place of birth, residence).

Vital Statistics authorities in Canada confirming
that no registration of marriage appears
in their records
A woman whose previous marriage was terminated

Via IV Novembre, 119/A, ROME, to be formally
