As it is such a long time since we went through the process, cannot advise re the situation today. However I doubt the Italian love of paperwork has changed so I would suggest you come armed with stacks of photocopies of every conceivable document possible (birth/wedding certificates, passports etc) as you will inevitably be asked for them, often in triplicate! Also a supply of passport type photos come in handy.

Also proof of access to health care by whatever means, much on this issue in the forum if you do a search.

Hi there
Basically in a nut shell you will need to provide, the deeds to your house, to show you have accomadation here, or a rental agreement if renting. Passport, and a means of income that if for one person that is above 5000 e per year. It is in the region of 7500e for 2 and a family it is 10,000e plus. It may differ from commune to commune but this is what the local communes around me require.You may also be required to provide your own medical insurance for 1 year. You will also need your codice Fiscale too. They will fill in forms and take photo copies of your documentation. Then they will pass it on to the polizia municipale. They do the property check to make sure what you say is true. This visit may take upto 2 months to complete. Usually they will ring you prior, and when completed you return to the commune 2 weeks later to pick up your residency certificate. After you have your residency certificate, then you can apply for your carte di residenza. This requires passport photo's and 6 euro.
I hope this helps
Good luck

When wife renewed her residency earlier this month, she was told by the anagraphe that new applications have to be accompanied by translations of birth & marriage certificates. You also need to show evidence of able to support yourself (about Euro 5100, per person per year ). Health insurance documentation. Think that was about it all!!!! Hope this helps

In theory, you shouldn't need a marriage certificate if you are eligilble for residence in your own right (rather than by virtue of being married to an Italian or EU citizen) Not all Comune staff recognise this though. Similarly, an EU passport should negate the need for a birth certificate.

We had the same request for birth and marriage certificate translations - but never bothered and got the residency anyway.

Huge tip on translations - they are registered at the Tribunale (our local one is Fermo) and can be signed off by anyone with ID.[/B]
We turned up with a translation for my MBA (needed to register as a Promotore Finanziario) done by my wife. She signed that it was a full and faithful translation, we bought the necessary stamp form the tabacconist and it was duly registered. From this we learnt that the translation can be done by anyone as long as they sign-off on it. Of course it helps to have it in comprehensible Italian, but there is a limit to the complexities of birth and marriage certificates (and degrees!).
Best of luck. Tim

Just on another point, but related in some way, the new Identity cards are valid for 10 years. If you have a 5 year one, then they just extend the existing one as it runs out.

You are entitled to self-certify your income and therefore do not need proof. You might need to argue this one depending on how helpful the comune is but it is a right that in our anagrafe office is written on a poster on the wall.
Do read the posts regarding demonstrating health insurance as you will only need to pay for cover in certain circumstances.
[quote=Antinello;92759]So we arrive in Italy on 1st August and want to get started ASAP with my wife's application for residence in the local commune.
Can anyone please advise on the specific process and documents required or point me in the right direction?[/quote]
Here is a good start [url]http://www.italymag.co.uk/forums/legal/9803-private-health-insurance-again.html[/url]
Then do some searches on "residency". You will have plenty to read :winki:
