Marriage licenses in Italy are issued to all couples regardless of marital status, but it is a bit more complicated than it seems.
Many couples don’t get married in Italy because they can’t get the required legal papers, but that doesn’t mean they can legally get married there.
Marriage licenses issued to couples by the courts are valid for only a few days.
The courts also issue marriage certificates to couples for three days.
For couples who are married by the local Italian police, marriage licenses are issued after a couple gives permission by a court order.
To get a marriage license, a couple needs to fill out a form.
The form has a simple question: Are you and your partner married legally?
The answer to this question depends on the type of marriage and its duration.
If a couple is married by a religious institution, they can be married by any legal institution that can issue marriage licenses.
If a couple has already legally registered in the same local canton and their partner has not registered, the marriage license is valid for the rest of the period.
However, if the couple has not completed the form and the application is denied, they will need to get a court ruling before getting a marriage certificate.
A couple who has married before is entitled to get an extension to the valid period of the marriage certificate if they want to continue to live together after their marriage.
If a partner is not married legally, but is living with the couple, then they can obtain a divorce certificate.
The divorce certificate is valid only for the marriage period.
If the couple wants to get divorced, they need to provide the required documents, including a letter from the couple’s lawyer, and the court order is issued.
It is the responsibility of the court to verify the documents before issuing a divorce order, and once the court rules, the couple will be allowed to move to another local cantony or a different region if they have moved before.
It is not possible to get married legally in other countries.
Marriage licenses are valid in Italy until the end of the month.
Marriage certificates are issued by the same courts for three months, and only then is the validity of a marriage document valid.
However if a couple married before gets divorced, their marriage certificate will be valid for five years.
