Is legalization of nulla osta al matrimonio required in the prefecture?

To obtain nulla osta al matrimonio at the consulate, specific documents must be provided, which are listed on the consulate's website. If previously married, a certificate regarding the former husband's surname may be required.

Some participants report that legalization of nulla osta at the prefecture is mandatory, and without it, registering a marriage at the commune is not possible. In some cases, an apostille may be required.

There are varying opinions on how quickly nulla osta can be obtained. Some claim the process can take up to 60 days, while others mention shorter timelines. Delays are possible, especially in smaller towns.
