What is AIRE and Who Must Register?
AIRE is the registry of Italian citizens living abroad, established in 1988 to keep track of Italians who live outside of Italy. It is mandatory for all Italian citizens who have been residing outside of Italy for more than 12 months to register with AIRE. This includes those who were born abroad and have acquired Italian citizenship, as well as those who have moved from Italy for work, study, or personal reasons.
Registering with AIRE is essential for several reasons. It allows Italian citizens to maintain their civic and political rights, such as voting in elections and referendums. It also facilitates access to consular services, such as renewing passports or obtaining certifications and other documents. Moreover, AIRE registration is necessary for accessing health care services when visiting Italy. Failure to register with AIRE can lead to various penalties, including fines and difficulties in accessing these vital services. It is important to note that an Italian citizen must be registered with AIRE to apply for or renew an Italian passport, making it a critical step for all expatriates.
