Every Italian town has an archive containing the names of the Italian citizens who emigrated.
In fact, every Italian citizen who moves abroad for more than one year must inform the City hall of the town where he last lived in Italy and, within 90 days upon his arrival, inform the local Consulate as well. Therefore, the person must present all the pertinent certificates in Long Form with Apostille , together with a proof of Italian citizenship at the time the event occurred. In case of a death certificate, it is necessary to submit the birth certificate too, and the naturalization certificate in case the deceased person had in the meantime become an American citizen. I am an Italian citizen living in the US and I would like to get married in Italy. To get married according to the Italian law, it is first of all necessary to have the bans posted.
