Autocertificazione (self-declaration, DPR 445/2000)
A universal self-declaration (dichiarazione sostitutiva, art. 46 DPR 445/2000). Declare facts about yourself with no certificates or notary. Accepted by Questura, Comune, SSN, etc.
Open the real blank in the libraryNo notarization needed (art. 74 DPR 445/2000). False statements are a criminal offence (arts. 75-76).
Autocertificazione: the certificate you write yourself
The autocertificazione (dichiarazione sostitutiva di certificazione, art. 46 DPR 445/2000) is a universal self-declaration: instead of chasing a certificate, you attest facts about yourself in writing - address, marital status, no criminal record. Public bodies (the Questura, the Comune, the SSN) accept it in place of certificates; the signature needs no notarization, and false statements carry criminal liability (arts. 75-76). It helps, for example, with SSN registration or the office rounds after a residenza change; the real blank is in the library: autocertificazione template.
Housing and guests: ospitalita and cessione di fabbricato
Dichiarazione di ospitalita (art. 7 D.Lgs 286/1998)
A notice that you provide housing to a foreigner: under art. 7 D.Lgs 286/1998 the host informs the Questura within 48 hours of the guest moving in. In practice the declaration also serves as proof of address - for the KIT, a nulla osta or SSN registration when there is no registered rental contract. The official blank is in the library: the art. 7 comunicazione di ospitalita; when ospitalita is enough and when a contract is needed is covered in the family reunification article.
Cessione di fabbricato: when the property changes hands
When the property is not just hosting a guest but is handed over for use or ownership (a lease, a sale), that is a cessione di fabbricato. For foreigners both cases are covered by the same art. 7 form - the comunicazione di ospitalita/alloggio/assunzione/cessione di immobile a straniero: any person, individual or legal entity, files it within 48 hours; per the form a violation carries an administrative fine (around 160-1100 euro - verify current amounts).
The rental disdetta and the conto di base request
Disdetta contratto di locazione
You can move out early by letter: the tenant sends the landlord a disdetta - a termination notice with advance warning (usually 6 months; check your contract and Legge 431/1998 for the exact period and grounds). It goes by registered letter (raccomandata A/R) or PEC to fix the date. How the contract itself and its registration work is in the rental contract article.
Richiesta conto di base
When banks refuse an account, a written basic-account request helps: the right to a conto di base is set by Directive 2014/92/EU and D.Lgs 37/2017, and banks, including Poste Italiane, must offer it to consumers legally residing in the EU. Per community experience the request is filed at the branch or by PEC, citing the law. Tactics for Russian and Belarusian citizens are in the Italian bank account for RU/BY citizens article.
Which module when: the autocertificazione - when an office asks for a certificate of facts you may declare yourself; the ospitalita - within 48 hours of hosting a foreign guest (or being hosted); the disdetta - when you decide to leave a rented flat; the conto di base request - after a verbal refusal by a bank. What goes into the permesso pack itself is shown by the document-pack builder. The modules are a guide, not legal advice: verify forms and deadlines with your Questura, Comune or bank.
FAQ
What is an autocertificazione?
The autocertificazione (dichiarazione sostitutiva di certificazione, art. 46 DPR 445/2000) is a self-declaration by which you attest facts about yourself without certificates or a notary: address, marital status, no criminal record. Public bodies - the Questura, the Comune, the SSN - accept it in place of certificates; the signature needs no notarization, but false statements carry criminal liability (arts. 75-76). A guide, not legal advice.
When do you need the dichiarazione di ospitalita?
When someone provides housing to a foreigner free of charge. Under art. 7 D.Lgs 286/1998 the host notifies the Questura within 48 hours of the guest moving in. The same declaration is often used as proof of address for the KIT, a nulla osta or SSN registration when there is no registered rental contract. Confirm the deadline and form with your Questura or Comune.
How does ospitalita differ from cessione di fabbricato?
Ospitalita - you host a guest at your place without transferring any rights to the property. Cessione di fabbricato - you hand the property over for use or ownership (a lease, a sale). For foreigners both cases are covered by one art. 7 D.Lgs 286/1998 form - the comunicazione di ospitalita/alloggio/assunzione/cessione di immobile, also within 48 hours; per the form a violation carries an administrative fine (around 160-1100 euro, verify current amounts).
How do you terminate a lease by letter?
The tenant sends the landlord a disdetta - a written termination notice with advance warning (usually 6 months; check your contract and Legge 431/1998 for the exact period and grounds). It goes by registered letter (raccomandata A/R) or PEC so you have proof of the date. The module above assembles the letter from your data; a guide, not legal advice.
Is a bank obliged to open a conto di base?
The right to a basic payment account is set by Directive 2014/92/EU and D.Lgs 37/2017: banks, including Poste Italiane, must offer the conto di base to consumers legally residing in the EU. Per community experience a branch may still stall or cite sanctions - then people file a written request (at the branch or by PEC) citing the law. Verify current rules on bancaditalia.it; not legal advice.
From the community chats: filing the kit at the post office
My permesso has expired, and therefore the review of my husband's application has been postponed until my renewal. We submitted our fingerprints and are now waiting for the result.
The kit giallo states that the reasons for the residence permit include family circumstances. If the postal employee refuses, it may be a mistake. I had a case where one accepted the documents, and another did not.
Where people most often go wrong
- The submission of the kit must occur within the first 8 days after entry, otherwise there may be issues with the residence permit. (3 messages)
- Errors in filling out the receipt of the kit or in the data can lead to delays and the need to send a new kit. (4 messages)
