Swedish citizen residing in Italy

1. Certificate of Marriage Capacity “Äktenskapscertifikat” with an EU multilingual standard form attached containing a translation Swedish/Italian (Annex V). Both the Certificate and the translation are issued by the Swedish Embassy in Rome.
   
   
2. Registry Extract, containing the names of the parents (personbevis med uppgifter om föräldrarnas namn) with an EU multilingual standard form attached containing a translation Swedish/Italian (Annex I). Both the Extract and the translation are issued directly by the Registry Office in Sweden “Skatteverket”.

According to the EU regulation of February 16, 2019, aimed at simplifying the circulation of certain official documents, Italian Authorities recognize the Certificate of Marriage Capacity and the Registry Extract with attached EU multilingual standard form, even without Apostille. Further information is available in the regulation published in the official journal of the European Union.

Requesting the Certificate of Marriage Capacity at the Swedish Embassy

To ensure the application for the Certificate of Marriage Capacity is complete and can be processed by the Embassy, the following original documentation must be handed in:

• Valid passport or identity card.
• Form SKV 7881 (Äktenskapscertifikat – Ansökan och försäkran).
• Registry Extract (personbevis) issued by Skatteverket. The certificate must contain information regarding place of birth, marital status, citizenship, and residence. Note that this certificate is different from the one to be submitted directly to the civil status officer (see point No. 2 above).
• Certificate of civil status, issued by the Municipality of residence in Italy or downloaded from the National Registry ANPR website.
• Copy of the partner's passport or identity card.
• If you have been residing in a foreign country for a continuous period as an adult, you must attach a certificate of civil status from the foreign country.
• Documentation issued by the Authorities must be no older than three months.

The documentation must be submitted in person at the Embassy or at one of our Consulates in Italy.

Consular fees vary based on the current currency; updated information is available under Consular Fees.

Information

*If the civil status has not been registered in Italy, a certificate of civil status issued by the Municipality of residence or ANPR, with the notation "unknown", must be attached. Alternatively, a certificate issued by the Municipality of residence, stating that there are no acts related to a marriage registered in their register, can be attached.

A Swedish citizen who has previously been married must first have their current civil status updated both with Skatteverket in Sweden and with the Registry Office in Italy.

It is recommended that the documentation must have reached the Embassy about two months before the scheduled marriage. The Certificate of Marriage Capacity can be collected at the Embassy or at a Consulate. The Certificate is valid four months after issuance.
