Apostille Documents to Get Married in Italy
Are you getting married in Italy? Congratulazioni! We know you have a lot of planning to do. But don’t forget that you will need specific papers before you leave the US, and those documents will need to be authenticated. We can help you apostille documents to get married in Italy.
Apostille Documents to Get Married in Italy
As with any wedding, you must fill out the proper paperwork. But when getting married in Italy, many must have an apostille attached.
An apostille validates the authenticity of a document by confirming the signatures and seals. Since Italy is a member of the Hauge Convention of 1961, they accept the apostille. All nonmember countries require embassy legalization.
You must confirm with your Italian wedding planner or the proper authorities what documents they require. Once you have all the paperwork, we can help you obtain the apostille. Some commonly requested documents are:
- Passport
- Birth certificate
- Death certificate (if you are a widow or widower)
- Divorce decree (if previously married)
- Single Status Affidavit
If you are getting married in a Roman Catholic church, you may also be required to present baptismal and confirmation certificates.
Acquiring the Paperwork for the Apostille
You can obtain most vital records (such as a birth certificate, death certificate, or divorce decree) from the county and state where they originated. If you were born in Hennepin County, Minnesota – then that is where you will receive a certified copy of your birth certificate.
If you have trouble working with the county of origin, you may use Vital Check to obtain the paperwork.
Once you have the necessary documents, we can help you obtain an apostille for each.
