Guide to obtaining a family status certificate

The family status certificate is an official document issued by the Registry Office of the municipality of residence, which certifies the composition of a citizen's family unit, that is, the group of people living in the same household and registered in the same family registry. Now let's look specifically at the family status certificate.

This document contains the personal details of all family members (name, surname, date and place of birth, kinship or cohabitation relationship) and is frequently requested for administrative, legal, or inheritance purposes , in order to prove the family ties of the applicant or the deceased.

In the context of inheritance practices , the family status certificate plays an essential role in identifying legitimate heirs and certifying the family situation of the deceased at the time of death.
