The Historical Family Status Certificate is a registry certificate that certifies the composition of the family unit (famiglia anagrafica) to which the certificate holder belonged at a specific date or during a specific time frame in the past. In this second case, the certificate will include all the variations that occurred to the composition of the family within that time frame.
There is a possibility that, during that time frame, the certificate holder left one registered family unit to join another registered family unit, a process that involves the removal from the previous family’s registry record (scheda anagrafica) and the addition to the new family’s registry record. If the certificate holder was a member of more than one registered family unit in the considered time frame, the information for each registered family unit they were a member of will be included.
The Historical Family Status Certificate includes the address of each registered family unit. Furthermore, for each member of the family unit, some personal details are included (for example, name; surname; date and place of birth; birth certificate details, if available) and the dates of entry or exit from the registered family unit (in the event that a member joined the family unit or left it while the certificate holder was part of it), including the reasons for entry and exit (for example, due to birth or transfer from another address; or due to death or transfer to another address).
The Historical Family Status Certificate is limited to confirming the composition of the family or families of which the certificate holder was a member, and the variations to those registered family units during the certificate holder’s permanence in them. If it is also necessary to indicate the kinship relations between the members for each of the members of those registered family units, a Historical Family Status Certificate with Kinship Relations must be requested instead.
If the composition of the person’s current registered family unit needs to be certified, then a Family Status Certificate must be requested instead.
