Consular services

Requests the consular staff deal with:

• Italian passports and emergency travel documents
• Registration of births, marriages and deaths
• Certification and legalisation of documents
• Certificates for pensions abroad
• Help for citizens in difficulty – illness, arrest or loss of documents
