Frequently asked questions
How do you form a civil union in Italy?
A civil union is formed before the civil registrar of the Municipality, in the presence of two witnesses. Both partners must present identity documents, tax code and certificate of single status.
What rights does a civil union guarantee?
A civil union guarantees the same rights as marriage in terms of inheritance, healthcare (informed consent), pension (survivor's) and citizenship. It does not include joint adoption.
