The atto notorio in the US (or in Australia)

The Atto Notorio can be issued either at the Consulate General of Italy in the U.S.A. (or Australia if the applicant is Australian), or at a notary public in the U.S.A. (or Australia) with the formality of apostille (legalization due to The Hague Convention).
The atto notorio must state that, according to the laws to which the bride and groom are subject in the U.S.A.(or Australia), there are no impediments to the marriage they intend to contract in Italy.
