Registration of residents with the Anagrafe (Population Registry Office) enables the mayor, or person delegated by the mayor, to ascertain that the applicant’s habitual abode is within the Council’s administrative area.

How  to register with the Anagrafe (Population Registry Office)

The applicant must go in person to the Population Registry Office of the Municipality in which he or she normally resides to fill out and sign the form, declaring also the residence of any of his or her children who are under eighteen years of age.

What you need to submit an application

• permit to stay which is valid for more than three months;
• current passport or equivalent document;
• tax code number;
• documents relating to marital status which are not deducible from the passport (birth, marriage, divorce, family relationships etc.);
• Such documents must be either.

-       originals issued by the relevant authorities of the country in which the event occurred, translated into Italian and authenticated;

-       originals issued by the country of origin consular authorities present in Italy with an authenticated signature from the relevant Prefecture of Police.

 Important

Registering with the Population Registry Office (Anagrafe) is essential for the carrying out of many administrative tasks such as the issue of a driving license or registering with the National Health Service.

All personal details (name and surname, place and date of birth, citizenship) contained in the passport and in the permit to stay must match exactly.

Registration, changes or cancellations of personal details are to be communicated ex officio to the relevant police station, which has national jurisdiction.

If you are not registered with the Anagrafe, you must communicate any change in residence to the relevant police station within fifteen days.

You must also notify, and this also applies in the case of any change in residence or address, the “Direzione Tributi” (Municipal Tax Administration Authorities) in order to pay the solid waste tax. For this you will be given a form to fill in at the Anagrafe counter.

If you have been living in a reception centre for more than 3 months and have relevant documentary evidence, the reception centre is considered to be your habitual abode.

It is compulsory WITHIN 60 DAYS from renewing the permit to stay, to declare again your habitual place of residence to the Municipal Anagrafe, attaching a copy of the new permit to stay. Failure to do so will result in cancellation from the Municipality resident population list.
