Guide to obtaining an AIRE residency certificate

The AIRE residence certificate is an official document issued by the Registry Office of the Italian municipality where you are registered with AIRE (Registry of Italians Resident Abroad).

It certifies that the Italian citizen is registered with AIRE and specifies the country and address of foreign residence, as recorded in the municipal archives.

The certificate contains the interested party's complete personal details, the relevant Italian municipality, the foreign country of residence and the date of registration with AIRE.

It is an essential document for various legal and inheritance procedures, both in Italy and abroad.

Here is the guide to requesting the AIRE residency certificate online through the Agenzia delle Successioni.

Who issues the AIRE residency certificate?

The AIRE residence certificate is issued by the Italian municipality where the citizen is registered in the Registry of Italians Resident Abroad .

Through formal delegation, the Agenzia delle Successioni can forward the request to the competent Municipality and transmit the certificate directly to the applicant, in digital format.

What documents are needed to register with AIRE?

The AIRE registration request form is usually completed online. It must be signed by all adult family members, and by both parents for minors.

Additionally, a copy of a valid Italian passport and/or Italian identity card (front and back) must be submitted. If you don't have Italian documents, a foreign identity document with full personal details, or proof of Italian citizenship, may be accepted.

A document must be attached for each family member you wish to enroll.

Proof of residency abroad is also required. A recent document (often no older than 3 months) certifying actual residency in the consular district, in the applicant's name, is therefore required.

In addition to the AIRE residence certificate, the Agenzia delle Succesioni can obtain on your behalf the registry and civil status certificates, records and official documents necessary for the inheritance declaration.
