You can get this from your local Registry of Births, Marriages and Deaths I believe

welcome to the world of Polish bureacracy....

Check the British Consulate's website.

How much is Fee Number 22 and 24. Doesn't seem to show it on the Website

No idea. Probably the usual stupid amount of money the consulate always want in exchange for doing anything. I once paid PLN 375 to have a piece of paper signed and stamped by a member of consular staff. Literally two minutes of work for them.

I particularly like how all prices are given in British pounds but they will only accept payment in Polish currency and use their own exchange rate to calculate how much you owe them. The list of consular fees currently on their website is dated April 2 and says that there are 4.7 zloty to the pound. Currently there are 4.27 zloty to the pound. On April 2 the rate published by the National Bank of Poland was 4.42.
Nice little earner for somebody, eh?

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.
