Residenza in Padova: anagrafe, documents and the check

Official: residenza with the comune of Padova

A paraphrase of the comune of Padova's own pages for non-EU citizens arriving from abroad; checked 11 October 2026. Where it differs from the community experience below, go by the comune.

First registration online

No. A first registration from abroad goes in person by appointment, by registered letter or by PEC.

Anagrafe appointments

Online booking in the comune's MyArea (Prenota appuntamento); desk Mon-Wed 8:15-12:00, one person per family.

Office

Servizio Immigrazioni - Ufficio Anagrafe, Piazza dei Signori 23, 35139 Padova. Mon, Tue, Wed 8:15-12:00, by appointment only. Phone 049 8205735 - Mon-Fri 11:00-13:00.

Carta d'identità (CIE)

By online appointment only, in the comune's MyArea; if that fails, by phone 049 8205766 (Mon-Fri 10:00-12:00) or at any anagrafe office, district office or the URP in Palazzo Moroni. 22 euro by card (POS) at the desk on the day, no cash; or pay in advance via PagoPA (the MyPay portal) and bring the printed receipt. Non-EU citizens need a valid permesso and passport; with an open-ended permesso, the ten-year update or the postal receipt of its request. Non-Italians cannot get a card valid for travel abroad. Your data must match the national registry (ANPR).

Residence certificate

A residence certificate is issued on the spot at any anagrafe desk without an appointment, or online on ANPR (only for yourself and your household); 16 euro stamp duty unless an exemption applies.

Where and how to file

• In person by appointment only: Piazza dei Signori 23, Monday-Wednesday 8:15-12:00, one person per family.
• By registered letter to Anagrafe - Ufficio Immigrazioni (a PO box, address on the page).
• PEC to immigrazione@pec.comune.padova.it; cloud links are not accepted.
• Pick one channel: sending the same file several ways slows the case down.

Documents on the comune's list

• the application form, all 4 pages, signed by every adult
• the passport, original and copy; its data must match the permesso
• a valid permesso, or the expired one plus renewal ricevute (payment slip, postal receipt, questura appointment)
• a copy of the codice fiscale
• the Allegato A documents
• proof of housing: a registered lease or comodato, a deed of ownership, or the owner's statement with a copy of their ID

Terms as the comune states them

File within 20 days of moving. Registration in 2 working days, checks within 45 days: an officer verifies the address, your name on a working doorbell and on the mailbox, your presence, furniture and connected utilities. No reply within 45 days means the request is accepted. Free; breaching registry obligations carries a 100-500 euro fine by law.

• If you go in person, bring the form already filled in and signed; the office keeps the copies.
• Driving licences are not converted at the anagrafe: that is the Motorizzazione civile di Padova, corso Spagna 10.
• The Carte d'identità office: piazza dei Signori 23, by appointment Mon, Wed, Fri 8:15-13:00, Tue and Thu 8:15-17:00, phone 049 8205725; the card arrives by post in about 6 working days.
