My marriage is valid there is nothing to make it not acceptable in Italy .two of my kids have Italian passport with my wife name on it.
Is it Ok?
There's no problem for your children. However, their being accepted as Italian merely means that you are recognised as their father; it does not mean that your wife is acknowledged as your wife.
The best information I could find on Italian law was at
https://uk.practicallaw.thomsonreuters. ... rue&bhcp=1. The key point from it is that it states that under Article 28, Law 218/1995, an marriage contracted in another country will normally be accepted as valid. There does not appear to be any requirement to register it; indeed, I am not sure that registering does anything but record that it is reported to have happened.
My advice, for what it is worth, is not to worry. Go ahead with the applications. If you can indicate that they were granted family permits on the basis of your marriage, so much the better. The courts disapprove of re-examining matters that should already have been examined when there is no reason to believe that the original decision was wrong.
