VITAL RECORDS
The Vital Records Office of an Embassy or Consulate handles, just as an Italian municipality does, the registration, updating and maintenance of the Vital Records. The Italian Embassies/Consulates receive vital records certificates issued by foreign authorities and send them to Italian City Halls for registration.
Instructions and forms:
- Registration of the Birth Certificate for Minors in Italy
- Registration of the Marriage Certificate/License in Italy
- Registration of the Death Certificate in Italy
- Registration of the Decree of Divorce in Italy
- Affidavit of Parentage – Voluntary Acknowledgment of Natural Child
- Instructions To Recognize Adoption of a Foreign Minor Child
- Registration of the Decree and Order of Change of Name In Italy
- Posting of Marriage Banns
Vital records and related documents can be submitted either in person, Monday to Friday from 9am to 12.30pm, or by mail to the following address:
Consulate General of Italy in Chicago
