  To get a Nulla Osta, [make an appointment at the British Embassy in Rome](https://www.consular-appointments.service.gov.uk/fco/#!/british-embassy-rome/notice-of-marriage-or-civil-partnership/slot_picker) to give notice of your marriage. Your partner doesn’t have to come with you.
  
  You need to be in Italy for 3 full days before you can give notice. This means if you arrive on Monday you can’t give notice until Friday.
  
  It costs <%= format_money calculator.consular_fee(:receiving_notice_of_marriage) %> to give notice and <%= format_money calculator.consular_fee(:issuing_cni_or_nulla_osta) %> for the Nulla Osta. You can pay by card. If you want to pay in cash you need to pay in the [local currency](/government/publications/italy-consular-fees). 
  
negative.code: - your annulment certificate - if your marriage or civil partnership was annulled
  - your civil partnership dissolution - if your civil partnership was dissolved
  - your partner’s [death certificate](/order-copy-birth-death-marriage-certificate/) and marriage certificate - if you’ve been widowed
  - evidence of name change (for example a deed poll) if the name on your current passport doesn’t match the name on your divorce or previous marriage certificate
  
  You can provide copies of a divorce decree or death certificate instead of originals. They’ll need to be certified by a notary public or solicitor in the country where the divorce took place or the death was registered.
  
  ^If your divorce, civil partnership dissolution or annulment took place outside the UK, you’ll also need evidence that you or your former partner lived in or were a national of that country at the time of the divorce.^
  
  The British embassy will display your notice of marriage publicly for 7 full days. This means if the embassy gets your notice on Monday (in person or by post), it will be displayed until the following Tuesday. If nobody registers an objection, your Nulla Osta should be ready within 2 weeks of giving your notice. You can collect it in person or have it delivered by post.
  
  You don’t need to stay in the country while your notice is displayed.
  
  ### If you’ve changed your name
  
  If your name on any of your documents doesn’t appear exactly as it does on your birth certificate, you’ll need to give the local marriage authorities evidence of your name change (for example, a marriage certificate or deed poll). If you don’t, the authorities may refuse to allow the marriage to go ahead.
