Community-reported quirks
Per the community in the south it is worth building in a time buffer: replies do not come at once and office quality varies. A patronato helps avoid getting stuck in queues and file the pratiche correctly - including the kit and family benefits. The advice: call ahead to confirm the office takes your case (foreign income especially), and keep a full document pack with you. Verify cost and timelines on site.
The official route is cheaper than middlemen
Most basic pratiche in Napoli go through a CAF or patronato for free or a small fee.
