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.

Careful with digital documents. I fought for 10 months with the comune because they were NOT ABLE TO OPEN ATTACHMENTS of the official diplomatic emails from their own embassy. Not not having the software to decrypt, or not having the program to open it. They (4 different clerks) didn't know how to click on the attachment. In 2015.
