Where couples
usually get stuck
Booking first, checking later. A venue and a date chosen before anyone looks at the paperwork timeline. Most couples start the paperwork three to six months before the wedding - leaving it late puts everything else under pressure.
Documents that are "almost right". A certificate without the right legalisation, a document issued too long ago, a name spelled differently from one paper to the next. Small details, but town halls notice them.
Translations nobody asked for - or the wrong kind. Some nationalities need sworn translations made in Italy, others need none at all. Translating everything "to be safe" costs time and money without making the file any stronger.
Forgetting the language. If one of you is not fluent in Italian, the law requires an interpreter at the civil ceremony. It's easy to overlook, and impossible to improvise on the day. How a wedding interpreter works.
Where translations fit in
Translations are the part of the paperwork we handle directly at Efffetti. When your documents need a certified or sworn translation - like the Certificate of No Impediment for British couples - we take care of the translation and the court procedure, and deliver the documents where they need to go. Just as importantly, we tell you when a translation is not needed. Certified translations
