Anagrafe Nazionale National Registry

The ANPR portal has been designed as a single point of access to services for all Italian residents and AIRE members. Each municipality displays services for citizens, many of them which are specific to the municipality. For digital registry services, it is important that the municipality is always connected to the ANPR: online certificates are only valid if the data is sourced by ANPR and have the Ministry of the Interior's QR code and authorised electronic seal.

If the details of your identity document are already present in the personal data sheet, they are automatically included in the self-certification. If not registered, you can enter them before printing. In this case, you can also enter only one of the document details (either the identity card number or the passport number).

Certificates are valid for three months from the date of issuance and contain the data on the person's personal data sheet available on the date of the request.

The QR code is easy to check via any free app: scan it and the answer is 'Issued by ANPR'.

The authorised electronic seal is not immediately visible: you must first download the pdf of the certificate and view it with Adobe Reader. In the top right-hand corner, you will find a 'Signature Panel' to click on; then, on the left-hand side, you will see the words 'Signed by the Ministry of the Interior Central Directorate for Demographic Services'.

You can then right-click to select, in order: "Verify signature", "Display signed version", "Add verification information" and finally "Show signature properties".

Please attach the documents that directly relate to the data you wish to correct.

Once submitted, the change of residence declaration is handled directly by the registry office of the relative municipality. The municipality to which you move must register and conditionally accept the declaration within two days of receiving the same. An assessment phase of a maximum of 45 days then begins. If the result is positive, the municipality accepts the request, with effect from the date of its submission. Processing times may thus vary depending on the individual case.

The local workstation administrator of each municipality or prefecture is in charge of monitoring the situation; before a certificate expires, they must request the generation of a new certificate from the 'Security' area of the web app.
