-==Definition==
-Civil registration records [''registri dello stato civile''] are an excellent source for accurate information on names as well as dates and places of births, marriages, and deaths. In addition, civil registration may include documents required for marriage, miscellaneous records (such as stillbirths), deaths occurring in other cities or countries, and legitimations or parental acknowledgments [''ricognizioni''].
-Because they cover most of the population and because they are usually indexed and mostly accessible, civil registration records are one of the most important sources for genealogical research in Italy.
-For birth, death, and marriage records before 1809 or 1820, see "[[Italy Church Records|Church Records]]".
