Consular Services
Consular services are furnished on an equal, impartial, efficient and transparent basis.
Consulates ensure all co-nationals protection against the violation of their fundamental rights and the limitation or privation of their personal freedom. They also ensure emergency assistance, help in locating family members, inheritance procedures initiated abroad and for the repatriation of mortal remains.
We invite to consult the website of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs www.esteri.it, where a dedicated section on consular services has been created. This section can directly be accessed at http://www.esteri.it/MAE/IT/Italiani_nel_Mondo/ServiziConsolari/
The afore-said section describes the main services offered by Italian Consulates and Consular Offices abroad, and includes the reference to the relevant legislation applicable to each of such services.
For each procedure, the website reports also the list of documents that the applicant shall submit along with his request.
