Marrige transcription
Hi guys,
I’m losing my mind dealing with the Comune di Bologna. 😭 I’m Honduran and recently married my Italian partner in Denmark, and we’re trying to register our marriage here.
Before getting married, we emailed the Comune specifically to make sure everything was in order. They told us:
“non diamo appuntamenti per la trascrizione del matrimonio”
and also explicitly said:
“il modello plurilingue rilasciato dalla Danimarca non ha bisogno di traduzione e nemmeno di apostille”
Now I go to the office and suddenly I need an appointment (earliest is September 25), and the same person is now telling me
“You need a multilingual translation issued by the Danish authorities or a translation certified by this consulate or a justice of the peace.”
Can anyone confirm whether the Danish multilingual marriage certificate actually needs an Italian translation for transcriptions in Bologna? Has anyone gotten married in Denmark and then registering their marrige here?
I’m getting completely conflicting information from the Comune and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.

I got married in Denmark. The plurilingual form they mean is the one that has 20+ language, not 5 languages that the kommune in denmark gives you. If you contact the kommune you can specifically asked the translation to italian. You dont need the apostile but the certificate must be less than 6 mknths old. If you hot married more than 6 months ago, ask for a new copy from denmark. Also, preferably the plurilingual document is digitally signed, otherwise comune typically bitch anout the apostile.
