The permesso is filed with the questura, not the comune: the Genova questura: Ufficio Immigrazione hours and booking. Already registered in Italy and moving? Changing your residenza within Italy: online via ANPR.
On a ricevuta, or is the permesso required?
Per the community there is little settled Genoa-specific practice in the corpus, so go by the general rule: some offices open a residenza on a ricevuta, others ask for the permesso or a questura endorsement of the ricevuta. If your address is not accepted, the fallback is an ospitalita. Check the requirements with the comune.
Timelines and the vigile check in Genova
Registration, the vigile check and the certificateThe Genova anagrafe: community-reported quirks
There is little Genoa-specific detail in the community, so the picture is the general one for Liguria and the country: people advise doing the residenza right after filing for the permesso, since the CIE, the tessera sanitaria and the ISEE depend on it. After filing a vigile checks the address. Confirm current details with the comune.
What residenza gives you
Once residenza is registered in Genova, the carta d'identita (CIE), SSN enrolment and the tessera sanitaria, the ISEE for benefits, driving school and the prima casa tax break open up.
Anagrafe in other cities and the strictness flagThe Genova anagrafe as applicants describe it
In Genoa there were almost no specific anagrafe tips in the chats, so I followed the general scheme: filed the request, waited for the vigile check and then calmly did the CIE and the tessera.
Questions about residenza in Genova
Can you register in Genoa on the ricevuta?
Per the community there is little settled practice for Genoa specifically. By the general rule some offices open a residenza on a ricevuta, others ask for the permesso or a questura endorsement. If not accepted, people make an ospitalita. Verify requirements with the comune - lived experience, not a guarantee.
