Service Details
Register Foreign Divorce
This service is available across Italy
Who Is This Service For?
- For individuals seeking to register a foreign divorce in Italy, the process is governed by the Private International Law Act No. 218/1995.
- This law generally allows for the automatic effectiveness in Italy of foreign judgments that comply with certain compatibility requirements with the Italian legal system.
- Specifically, for divorce judgments, they must be registered with the competent Italian Municipality, either directly by the individual involved or through the Italian Consulate in the district where the judgment was issued.
- This service is particularly beneficial for expats or those with legal ties to Italy who have obtained a divorce abroad and wish to have it officially recognised in Italy.
- This recognition is crucial for various legal and administrative processes within Italy, including remarriage in Italy or the adjustment of personal status records.
Requirements
- The primary requirements are submission of legalised and translated (into Italian) documents of the foreign judgment to the Italian Municipality or the Italian Consulate in the country where the divorce was issued.
- These documents must demonstrate that the divorce judgment is not contradictory to any Italian judgments on the same matters and that there are no pending cases on the same issues between the same parties in Italy.
Procedure: Our Approach
- Verification of the jurisdiction and updating of addresses if necessary.
- Preliminary check of the documentation by the Civil Status Office before sending it to Italy.
- Submission of a comprehensive set of documents, including a certified copy or original of the divorce decree (with apostille), translation of the decree and the non-appeal certificate, a divorce decree registration request form, and an application for the transmission of the judgment.
Benefits - Why Choose Our Service
- Expertise in handling the intricacies of Italian and international law to ensure smooth recognition of foreign divorces.
- Guidance throughout the documentation and submission process to avoid common pitfalls.
- Assistance with professional translation services to meet the legal standards required for document submission.
Key Features of this Service
