Short answer
The digital document is free; first check whether the receiving body needs a certificate or a more detailed extract.
A marriage certificate confirms an event recorded in civil status and may be needed for pension, insurance or foreign procedures. ANPR is the cheapest route: the Interior Ministry states that digital civil-status certificates are free when available through the service. A certificate, an extract and a full copy are not interchangeable, however. The EUR 0 figure applies to the digital certificate described by the Ministry, not automatically to every marriage-related document.

Frequently asked questions
Is an ANPR marriage certificate free?
Yes. The digital certificate described by the Interior Ministry is free and carries no stamp duty when the record is available through ANPR.
Are a certificate and marriage extract the same?
No. A certificate confirms core facts, while an extract may be required where further information is needed. Follow the receiving body's request.
Do I need SPID?
The portal lists SPID, CIE and CNS as access methods. Without a digital identity, ask the municipality for the alternative route.
Sources and methodology
How we worked it out
We checked two Interior Ministry pages. One lists the marriage registry certificate among documents downloadable online without stamp duty; the other describes the 2026 ANPR service for digitised civil-status records. The price is therefore zero for that online route and for records actually available there. We do not estimate extracts, full copies, translations or apostilles because their requirements depend on the final use.
Why this confidence level
Confidence is High for the zero-cost digital certificate because it is stated by the Interior Ministry. The figure is not extended to extracts or copies with different purposes.
