Required documents
Registration in Italy of a Spanish divorce decree requires:
-
the full text of the ruling
-
The Apostille issued by the competent authority in Spain.
-
the sworn translation into Italian
The presence of the Apostille certifies the authenticity of the foreign document, while the sworn translation allows the Italian authorities to officially understand its contents.
Why sworn translation is needed
The sworn (sworn) translation is filed with the Italian court with an oath report, through which I attest to the fidelity of the translation to the original.
Only a formally correct translation allows the relevant municipality to:
-
Transcribe the judgment in the civil status records
-
Update the marital status of the person concerned
-
allow the celebration of a new marriage
-
Align master data in Italian documents
Without this procedure, the foreign decision does not take full effect in Italy.
Mistakes to avoid
In the course of my professional activity I frequently encounter:
-
judgments without Apostille
-
Unsworn translations when required
-
Incomplete documents (lack of attachments or reasons)
-
Translations that do not comply with the formal requirements of the Tribunal
These errors can lead to significant delays in the registration of the measure.
