If there are problems or questions about your request, you can go in person to the Ufficio immigrazione in your Citu Hall. It deals with immigration services. You can also go to a patronato (patronage office).

To find the Ufficio immigrazione del Comune in your city, you can search online for the words: ufficio immigrazione + name of your city (for example, Ufficio immigrazione Firenze). To find your local patronage online, search for the words: Patronato + name of your city (for example, Patronato di Firenze).
