Request certificates (birth, marriage, death, residence, etc.) online from Italian municipalities
Starting from 15th November 2021, a new service has been available for requesting digital certificates from Italian municipalities, whether a person is resident in Italy or registered with AIRE, as well as for their family members. The service is available through the website www.anagrafenazionale.gov.it, which can be accessed using SPID credentials, an Electronic Identity Card (CIE), or a National Services Card (CNS).
By accessing their personal account, users can also view the data registered with their municipality and, where necessary, request corrections.
A user manual is available HERE, providing instructions on how to access and use the various services.
