Wedding Information (including the holiday resorts of the Neapolitan Riviera.)

Get an idea of cost for a certified translation on the get a price page.

To get married in this country you will need to bring your original documents and photocopies thereof. English is not an official language of this country, so you will probably need a translation of the following documents to get married:

+	Statutory Declarations
	Certificate of No Impediment, stamped and sealed by a solicitor or Notary Public. Valid for 3 months from date of issue.
+	Birth Certificate
	Full birth certificate of both bride and groom required.
+	Decree Absolute
	If divorced, provide with a court stamp. An additional copy is usually required. A divorce must have taken place at least 12 months previously.
+	Spouse's Death Certificate
	If widowed, former spouse's Death Certificate and previous Marriage Certificate.
+	Proof of Change of Name
	Proof that has been stamped and signed by a solicitor is required if either party has changed their name by deed poll or statutory declaration. This also applies if a previously married woman has reverted to using her maiden name.
+	Adoption Certificate
	If either party was adopted, adoption certificate is required.

Other:

+	Residency
	Minimum residency period, excluding day of arrival, in working days. 5 days.
+	Passport
	Valid 10-year passport of both bride and groom required.
+	Parental Consent
	Notarised Statutory Declaration or Affidavit. Required if under 18, unless otherwise stated.

In order to obtain a Marriage Licence, certain important legal formalities must be performed on arrival.

Marriages abroad are recognised by UK law only if they were were conducted in accordance with the local law of the country - although it cannot be registered at a UK register office. If there is any doubt about the legality, contact the Home Office before making any arrangements.

Seek advice from your GP in case you require any vaccinations or medical advice at least 3 months before departure date.

Hague Convention

Italy is a member of the Hague Convention, so any official documents legalised by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London should be valid.

Kind words from our clients ...

I am 100% happy with the service I received from TransAction. The response time was excellent and they even contacted me to check if I’d sent the correct document instead of blindly going ahead with the translation saving me time and money. First class attention and service. Thank you.

Lucy, Ely, England, 8 Nov 2010
