You can finally get your residency papers, as well as marriage certificates, online without the need to go down to comune, thanks to the recent updates in Italy’s Anagrafe website.
From 15 November the new Anagrafe website allows people living in Italy to download various official documents for free, without having to pay for the marca da bollo tax stamp.
Thanks to the new online platform, it is possible to access essential paperwork from home, with access granted via your SPID credentials (Italy’s digital identity system for public administration) or your electronic identity card (Carta d’Identità Elettronica).
There are a total of 14 certificates available to download, either for yourself or a family member, including birth, marriage, residence and citizenship.
Other papers include family status documents, the Esistenza in vita cert, cohabitation agreements and civil union registry certificates, all of which are available in multilingual versions.
