Certificate of no impediment
Explanation:
A 'nulla osta' is needed by the Italian authorities if you wish to get married in Italy. It's just to prove that you're not already married.

As far as I know, this term isn't used in Brazil or Portugal.

See the weblink to the NZ embassy based in Italy, giving advice to NZ citizens wishing to get married there.
