Getting married in Italy for citizens of Russia. If we say that Italy is the most popular country for Russians to get married, most likely we would not be wrong. Italy, as a wedding destination, is known throughout the world. The only thing that can stop newlyweds from holding a wedding in Italy is obtaining a Schengen visa.
Can Russian citizens have an official marriage in Italy?
Yes, Russian citizens can register their relationship in Italy and it is recognized internationally and in our country after the necessary legalization.
The first thing necessary is to obtain a Nulla Osta certificate. This certificate is issued at the Russian Consulate in Italy and is a permit to get married in Italy.
To get this certificate you need to book a date to visit the Consulate of Russia and take it yourself.
For the newlyweds of our agency we have the opportunity to offer service to get the certificate Nulla Osta without the presence of the newlyweds. Also without you we will legalize Nulla Osta in the Prefecture of Rome in one day.
An ordinary passport of the Russian Federation. Standardly pages 2-3, 4-5, 14-15 are enough, but most likely the notary will refuse to certify individual pages and certify the entire passport.
Russian passport (the first page is enough)
Birth certificate
If you were married earlier, a copy of your marriage certificate and a certificate of divorce or death of your spouse
Certificate of name change
What do I need to know about registering my marriage in Italy?
According to Italian law a new registration of marriage is possible only after 300 days from the date of divorce
One day before the day of the registration of the marriage, the two of you and the interpreter have to show up at the municipality to sign the declaration.
On the day of the registration, after listening to the registrar’s speech, you sign in the municipal book, which will signify your consent to the marriage.
The cost of registration will vary depending on your nationality, date and place of registration, the number of guests and the program.
So renting the hall for the registration can start from 700 euros, the municipal fee from 600 euros, also in addition you pay the registration Nulla Osta from 1200 euros. Or there can be already a basic package with a garden ceremony in a small town on Como with all the paperwork and legalization of documents for 2700 euros.
