how to get residency in milan

Registering your residency in Milan is a crucial step for anyone planning to stay in Italy for an extended period. This process involves registering with the local municipality to obtain a residency certificate from the Anagrafe, which is required for various administrative procedures such as obtaining your ID card (Carta di Identita), accessing public health services or opening a bank account.

how to apply

Step #1

Obtain a valid Permesso di Soggiorno: Before you can apply for local residency, non-EU citizens must first obtain a valid Permesso. EU citizens can otherwise ignore this step.

Step #2

Get a Codice Fiscale: You'll need a registered Codice Fiscale, which is the Italian equivalent of a tax ID number. You can obtain one from us or by visiting an Agenzia delle Entrate office.

Step #3

Find a place to live: You must have a valid address in Milan with a registered rental contract to make a residency application.

Step #4

Gather your documents: For your residency application, you'll need to gather a number of documents, including your passport, visa/permesso (where applicable), registered rental contract, and proof of sufficient financial means and health insurance if you’re not otherwise employed in Italy. Be sure to check the specific requirements for your situation with the Anagrafe or have us do it for you!

STEP #5

Visit your Anagrafe: Once you have assembled your required documents, you can schedule an appointment with the Anagrafe at your local town hall (Comune). This involves submitting your application and providing any necessary documents, such as proof of your visa and residency address.

IVE SUBMITTED EVERYTHING, NOW WHAT...

Wait for the Attestato di Registrazione (residency certificate): Once you have registered with the Anagrafe and they have confirmed your presence at your place of residence, you'll be issued an Attestato di Registrazione, which serves as your residency certificate.
