Certificate of Single Status: what it is, what it is used for, and how to request it
The Certificate of Single Status is an official document issued by the Municipality that certifies a person’s marital status, specifically confirming that the individual is not married. The certificate includes the person’s personal details and address.
Validity and requirements for the application
The Certificate of Single Status has a legal validity of 6 months and can be requested from any Italian Municipality, regardless of the place of residence.
To submit the application, the following information is required:
- first and last name of the person concerned
- date and place of birth
- Municipality of residence
Information contained in the certificate
- first and last name
- date of birth
- Municipality of birth
- marital status of the individual
Attention to dates not available in the archives
It may happen that the individual’s information is not available in the Civil Registry archives, for example if the person has moved abroad. In this case, the certificate cannot be issued, and a Certificate of Civil Status will be required instead.
The customer will always be promptly informed in case of any additional costs.
Who can request the certificates?
The certificates can be requested by anyone with a legitimate interest.
Some Civil Registry Offices may require a power of attorney accompanied by a copy of the identity document of the person concerned.
