- The foreigner must go to Register Office of the Comune in which he/she resides and communicate address. After police investigation Comune issues a residence certificate.
- All changes in address must be communicated to the Register Office and names of all those who live at the same address must be registered.
- If living in precarious conditions and in need of stable address, it is possible to use reception centres. The new law on immigration considers also a reception centre in which foreigner has accommodation for more than three months as a stable residence.
- Residence must not be confused with domicile, that is not the place in which one regularly lives and that represents a temporary residence area or site of business.
- All foreigners in the Italian territory must, within 15 days, give notice to the Police Headquarters of any variation of habitual residence.
