Registration in Italy of the death of an Italian citizen deceased in Australia.
Death in another country of an Italian citizen must be registered in Italy.
To register the death certificate, the following documents must be mailed to one of these addresses or handed in at the reception of this Consulate General:
- Certificate registration form;
- The original Death certificate issued by the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, legalized by means of the Apostille (issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade);
- A Translation of the death certificate into Italian, by an NAATI translator. If you opt for the independent translation, please note that it must be fully in conformity with the original text. Should this Office find any discrepancies with respect to the English text or lack of elements, all the documentation will be returned to the applicant for completion; please note that the apostille DOESN’T have to be translated.
- Evidence of Italian citizenship (identity card, Italian passport, or certificate of Italian citizenship).
PLEASE NOTE: the original certificates will be retained by the Consulate for recordkeeping.
