PASSPORTS
----------------------------------
The passport is a travel and identity document. It can be issued or extended by the Passport Office of the Consular Jurisdiction in which the Italian is resident.
In reality, in order to reside and travel in the countries of the European Union a valid identity card for ex-patriots, issued by the Italian AIRE in which the person concerned is enrolled, is sufficient. It is, however, always advisable to have a passport in addition to an identity card.
In order to have a passport issued it is necessary to go in person to the Passport Office of the Consular Jurisdiction in which the Italian citizen resides with the following documentation:
signed passport application
identity card
two recent photographs (identical, full-face and in colour)
permit to be in the country or justification of residence in the jurisdiction
(N.B. For an Italian residing abroad to obtain a passport, it is necessary to be registered in the AIRE of an Italian municipality).
An Italian citizen abroad can request the issuance/extension of a passport at a consular jurisdiction in which he/she is not a resident, but in that case it is necessary to wait for the "NULLA OSTA" (clearance) of the Office (Italian Consulate or Police Commissary) authorised for the area in which he/she resides.
An ordinary passport can be renewed even before its expiration date and within and not more 6 months following that date.
PASSPORT VALIDITY
According to the new regulations, passports issued after 4 February 2003 are valid for 10 years (as opposed to the previous 5 years) and cannot be renewed upon expiration.
Ordinary passports with a 5-year validity issued before 4 February 2003, and still valid, can be extended for a period of no longer than 10 years from the issuance date.
For passport extension it is necessary to go in person to the Passport Office of the Consular Jurisdiction in which the Italian is a resident with the following documentation:
signed passport extension application
expired passport
permit to be in the country or justification of residence in the jurisdiction.
1. Minors of less than 16 years of age can be listed on their mother or father’s passports. In order to list a minor on a mother or father’s passport one of the parents must go in person to the Passport Office of the Consular Jurisdiction with the following documentation:
special application available at the Office (or downloadable on the various Italian Consulate Internet sites) signed by both parents or by one of them with the written and signed consent of the other. The act of consent is a personal declaration that the parent can make using the special form available at the Passport Office or composed in the form of a self-certification, accompanied by a photocopy of an identity document;
two photos (identical, full-face and in colour) of the minor only if he/she is ten or more years old;
