What is the Civil Union Certificate
The Civil Union Certificate is an official document issued by the Civil Registry Office of the Municipality that certifies the constitution of a civil union between two people. Unlike other extracts or full copies of records, this document provides the essential details of the formalized legal bond, certifying the civil status of the couple based on municipal registries.
It is one of the most requested documents for a wide range of purposes: inheritance procedures, mortgages and bank financing, health insurance, legal guardianship, family reunification, and other bureaucratic requirements. Thanks to our intermediation service, you can request your Civil Union Certificate without having to physically visit the competent Municipality.
Information contained in the certificate
The Civil Union Certificate includes the following data:
- First and last name of the parties to the civil union
- Date and place of birth
- Date and place of the constitution of the civil union
- Registration details in the Civil Status records
Validity and requirements for the request
The certificate has a legal validity of 6 months from the date of issue. It can be requested at the Municipality where the civil union was celebrated or registered. To correctly proceed with the request, the following documents and information are required:
- First and last name of the individuals involved
- Date and place of birth
- Date and place where the union was constituted
- Completed and signed delegation form
- Copy of a valid identity document

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Difference Between Marriage Certificate and Civil Union Certificate
A Marriage Certificate confirms that two people have legally married.
It includes: spouses’ names, date, and place of the marriage.
A Civil Union Certificate confirms the establishment of a civil union between two same‑sex partners under Italian Law 76/2016.
It includes: partners’ details, date, and place of the civil union.
Main difference:
Marriage is the traditional legal institution for heterosexual couples (and sometimes same‑sex couples if married abroad).
A civil union is a specific legal institution for same‑sex couples, with similar but not identical rights to marriage.
Do the issued certificates have legal validity?
How long will it take to receive my certificate?
Most digital certificates are sent by email within a few days after we receive the completed delegation form together with the identity document. For documents that require the delivery of the original paper copy, the timing depends on the shipping service selected.
How will I receive the requested document?
What are Apostille and Legalization, and when are they required?
The Apostille and Legalization are international certifications that validate the signature of a public official on a document, making it legally valid abroad (in countries that are part of the Hague Convention). If you need to submit an Italian certificate in another country, you will likely require this official stamp, which we obtain on your behalf from the Prefecture.
Difference between Apostille and Legalization
The Apostille certifies the authenticity of the signature, stamp, and official capacity for countries that are part of the Hague Convention. Legalization is a consular verification required by non‑member States and confirms the validity of the document for use abroad.
