how to get your did

If you’re a recent graduate, you will need a DID certificate (Dichiarazione di Immediata Disponibilità al lavoro) from the Centro Per l'Impiego (CPI) —a declaration of immediate availability for work. This document is required to obtain your Permesso di Soggiorno per Attesa Occupazione (Permit of Stay for Seeking Employment) after graduation.

Step 1: Verify Your Eligibility

The DID certificate is available to individuals legally residing in Italy who wish to register as job seekers. You’ll typically need:
✔ A valid Permesso di Soggiorno (or receipt of renewal)
✔ A Codice Fiscale
✔ A valid passport or ID card

Step 2: Locate Your Designated CPI Office

Your assigned Centro Per l'Impiego (CPI) depends on your registered address. The main CPI locations in Milan include:
📍 CPI Milano – Via Strozzi
📍 CPI Milano – Via Soderini
📍 CPI Milano – Via Polesine

Check your residency details to confirm the correct office.

Step 3: Book an Appointment

While some CPI offices accept walk-ins, it’s recommended to book an appointment in advance. You can do this by:
📞 Calling your designated CPI office
📧 Emailing them directly

Step 4: Attend Your Appointment

On the day of your appointment, bring the required documents and be prepared to answer basic questions about your work experience and job preferences. The CPI officer will register you in their system and issue your DID certificate.

💡 Pro Tip: If you need assistance with the process, The Nest Milan offers support services to guide you through Italian bureaucracy.

Step 5: Receive Your DID Certificate

Once issued, your DID certificate is valid indefinitely but must be updated if your employment status changes. You may need this document for job applications, permesso renewals, or other bureaucratic processes.
