Anagrafe degli Italiani Residenti all'Estero
What is Aire? When to register with Fast.it What is its importance?
This is a "registry office" where documents and acts relating to the population are recorded, changes in civil status such as birth, marriage, death, profession, change of name and so on. It was established in 1988 and contains the data of Italian citizens living abroad.
AIRE is a register kept by the Italian government which tracks Italian citizens living abroad. To register with AIRE, you need to access the official website, whose link begins with "https", guaranteeing a secure connection during the process.
Registering with AIRE makes it possible to benefit from some important consular services (issuing documents and declarations), as well as to exercise the right to vote abroad.
Who must register with AIRE?
Law No. 470 of October 27, 1988 introduced the obligation to register with the A.I.R.E. for Italian citizens who transfer their residence abroad for a period of more than twelve months and for their cohabiting family members.
Registration must be requested at the competent Consulate within 90 days of the transfer of residence.
Thus, for example, Americans who have their citizenship recognized in Italy by judicial or administrative means and return to Brazil where they have their residence and work, this transfer becomes necessary for the competent Consulate in their region.
Thus, Americans recognized as Italian who live in Italy have their anagrafe registrations with the Comune where they live in Italy. On the other hand, Brazilians recognized as Italian who live abroad have their data anagrafe at the competent Consulate.
Consulates around the world, including those in Brazil, have a Ufficio Anagrafe which is responsible for managing the residents of that commune.
Keeping data up to date is a binomial duty/obligation. For example, if you change your marital status from single to married, this information must be entered in the AIRE.
After obtaining Italian citizenship, this is an important step.
