Register your residence in Italy (residenza)

Find the right Comune procedure and check whether the ANPR online service applies.

ANPR supports only eligible online declarations. A first registration after arriving from abroad may use a different local process.

Your checklist

First steps

Your checklist stays on this device.

Residence registration is handled locally

Your Comune manages the register for your home. ANPR has an online service for eligible changes, not every first arrival from abroad.

Use instructions for your own case

Documents and steps vary by municipality and circumstances. Confirm the process with the Comune responsible for your address.

Make sure every adult in the household is included

Some Comune procedures require more than one person to approve a household move. For example, Arezzo asks adult household members to sign or separately validate an online declaration. Treat this as a local example and check the rules for your own Comune before sending the application.

Keep the receipt or protocol number and confirm that every required signature or online approval was received. If you are arriving from abroad, ask which documents apply to your citizenship and situation, and whether civil-status documents need translation or legalization.

Arezzo is a local example, not a national deadline

Arezzo currently asks residents moving their habitual home there to submit a residence declaration within 20 days. Its rules illustrate why you must check the Comune for your own address; do not apply this deadline to every Italian municipality without confirmation.

Common questions

Can every new arrival use ANPR online?

No. Ask your Comune which route applies to a first registration or move from abroad.

Do I register where I work?

The register is tied to your actual home. Confirm the Comune responsible for that address.

Can one adult submit the residence declaration for everyone?

Not always. Some Comuni require each moving adult to sign or confirm the request separately. Arezzo is one local example; check the current procedure for the address where you will live.

Do I need to make any other local registration after residenza?

Possibly. Some municipalities ask for separate local-service or waste-tax declarations. Arezzo, for example, lists a separate TARI declaration. Ask your Comune which additional forms apply; do not assume this example is the same everywhere.

Is the 20-day deadline the same throughout Italy?

Do not assume so. The 20-day deadline is stated by the Comune of Arezzo. Check the current instructions from the Comune responsible for your own address.
