Registration with the Registry of Italians Residing Abroad (A.I.R.E.) is an Italian citizen’s right and duty (Law No. 470/1988, Article 6) and constitutes the prerequisite to avail oneself of consular services provided by representations abroad, as well as for the exercise of important rights. It is emphasized that Law No. 213, Article 1, paragraph 242 of December 30, 2023, has introduced a maximum penalty of €1,000.00 for each year of failure to register with the A.I.R.E., for a maximum of 5 years, for all Italian citizens residing abroad.
