Registration and updating to the A.I.R.E. (Register of Italian Residents Abroad) are made directly on the portal “Fast It” Consular Services Online after registering at the following link: https://serviziconsolarionline.esteri.it
This system allows a simplified and faster registration to A.I.R.E., responding to the needs of Italians living abroad.
Users are advised to pay particular attention to the following points:
- Creating an account on FAST IT does NOT automatically register or update A.I.R.E.;
- The data entered for registration must MATCH EXACTLY the information shown on the Italian passport or identity card;
- If an Italian passport is not available, the data must MATCH EXACTLY the information on the birth certificate issued by the relevant Italian municipality;
- Dates must be entered in European format: DAY/MONTH/YEAR;
Attention: Those who have already registered with A.I.R.E. through FAST IT in a consular district other than Panama and wish to transfer their A.I.R.E. residence to Panama must retain their existing FAST IT account. This allows the previous consular office to be notified automatically of the transfer.
The steps for the citizen are as follows:
- Log in to your usual FAST IT account.
- Go to Consular Registry and AIRE > Communicate a change of residence > Request the service.
- Enter the new country of residence (in this case, Panama).
- Confirm the change of consular office.
- Submit a new AIRE registration request (which, despite the name, will be processed as an update, and will not cancel or duplicate the existing registration).
IMPORTANT: Every Italian ADULT citizen can apply for AIRE registration for him and for children living together under the age of Italian citizenship. If, however, the registration of one of the members of the family whose civil status records (births of minor children) have not been previously recorded should also be required, it will be necessary to regularize the position in advance by following the instructions in the “Civil Status”
Citizens already registered in the A.I.R.E. within this Consular District before the implementation of the FAST IT system do not need to register again in the A.I.R.E.
Instead, they must link their FAST IT account to their consular record by following the steps below:
Register on the FAST IT portal, or log in if you already have an active account.
Select the option “Consular Registration and A.I.R.E.” and then click on “View your personal record”.
Request the “Online Association” and wait to receive the confirmation message in your email inbox.
Log in again to the FAST IT portal, view your personal record.
PRACTICAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Compila la richiesta sul FAST IT
After completing the required fields in the online form, you will also need to attach:
ANNEX A – Scanning of a document attesting the Italian nationality of each member of the family unit. Acceptable documents are:
- Valid Italian passport;
- Valid Italian identity card;
- Birth certificate already transcribed in the Comune;
- Certificate of Italian citizenship issued by the Italian municipality or an Italian representation abroad;
NOTE: You must include your spouse (wife, husband) or common-law partner in the AIRE application, even if you are a foreign national. In this case, a copy of the valid passport is required. For children not yet registered with the Italian Municipality, a copy of the passport is required.
ANNEX B – This is the scanned copy of the AIRE request form, completed online through the FAST IT portal. The form must be downloaded and signed before being submitted to the competent Consular Office. Note: It is important that the request form, as well as the corresponding fields in the online form, specifies the exact municipality of reference. Furthermore, in the case of minor children, the form must be signed by both parents.
ANNEX C – Scan of a utility bill (water, electricity, gas, TV/internet, lease (notarial) or public deed) in the name of the applicant, indicating the full address of the domicile. Note: If the applicant lives in an apartment room, they must present a notarized letter from a notary office drawn up by the landlord, along with a utility bill to confirm such statement. If the utility bill or the lease is made out to a member of the family living in the same household, you must submit a notarized letter from a notary office confirming the presence of the applicant at the household. Please note that no other documentation will be accepted.
Attention: Please note that the application for registration at A.I.R.E. will not be completed until the user receives an email confirming that the application for registration has been sent to the relevant Italian Mayor’s Office.
Remember! The site upload system rejects any attachments larger than 1.0 MB (or 1024KB). Moreover, it is not necessary to use the scanner to its full potential to obtain a digital version of the document to be sent. We recommend using the Edge browser (Internet Explorer)
NOTE: the lack of one of the above requirements will be grounds for refusal of the AIRE registration.
Registration can also be carried out ex officio, following the booking of an appointment for “consular services” through the Prenot@mi portal, with the applicant presenting themselves with all the documentation indicated above.
