Guide to obtaining the AIRE family status certificate

Instructions for quickly requesting an AIRE family status certificate

The AIRE family status certificate is an official document issued by the Registry Office of the Italian municipality where you are registered in the Registry of Italians Residing Abroad (AIRE). Let's now look specifically at what the AIRE family status is.

This certificate attests to the composition of the family unit of an Italian citizen who resides permanently outside the national territory, indicating the personal details of all members of his family status and the relative kinship or cohabitation relationships.

This is an essential document for those who live abroad but maintain legal and financial ties in Italy, for example in the context of inheritance, tax or notarial procedures .

In the context of inheritance, the AIRE family status certificate serves to prove the kinship and family composition of the deceased or of the heir residing abroad.

 

Here is the guide to requesting the AIRE family status certificate online through the Agenzia delle Successioni.
