Tuscany Marriage Requirements

Italian Marriage License:

• U.S. passport; or, if a member of the Armed Forces, identification card
• Birth certificate (certified copy), which shows the names of both parents
• Evidence of termination of any previous marriage (final divorce or annulment decree or death certificate)
• Sworn statement of consent to the marriage by the parents or legal guardian if the American citizen is under 18
• A declaration (atto notorio) , sworn to by four (4) witnesses before either an Italian consular officer in the United States or in Italy, at a Pretura or before a mayor or town clerk, stating that according to the laws to which the citizen is subject in the United States there is no obstacle to his or her marriage. Any American going to Italy to be married is urged to obtain this declaration before leaving the United States as it may be much easier to find four witnesses who know him or her sufficiently well to make such a declaration in the United States rather than in Italy.
• The U.S. Consular Officer will charge a $55.00 fee to notarize your declaration. There will be additional fees associated with translations, apostilles and ordering of public documents.

*all documents must be translated to Italian
