Please note: The certificates of No impediment to Marriage are issued by the Registrar of Marriages in Nairobi. It takes some sort of search to verify your marital status. For this reason, it is advicable to make your application like six months before the date you intend to present your documents at the comune.

Its good to know: Marriages in Italy are officiated at the disctrict offices (comune). At every Comune, there is a Registrar of marriages. (Ufficio Matrimonio).

Once your documents are ready, you will present them at this office. The comune will then give you a date to swear that you wish to get married and you wish to have the publications done.

On the date of swearing, you will present all your documents and the fiancee will also present his or hers. A period of 21 days will pass before you can now fix a date for your wedding.

Kenyans catholics who present their intention to get married at any of the catholic parishes in Italy are guided through the process by the parish priests.
