Civil documents (stato civile) relating to birth, marriage or death are to become much quicker to obtain as of January, according to the city.
The process has been digitised, reducing the current average wait to 72 hours, instead of about a month.
Under the new system documents can be requested directly from local municipio registry office as opposed to presenting at the city’s central registry office on Via Petroselli.
The records are then sourced from the online archive of the central registry office, and an e-mail is sent to the municipio and to the applicant, advising them that the document is ready for collection.
Within three days of applying the applicant should be able to return to the local municipio registry offices and collect a paper copy of the document.
A number of certificates and registry information is already available for those who register on the city’s website. www.comune.roma.it
