How to Fill Out Your Permesso Di Soggiorno: A Step-by-Step Guide

So by now I’m sure you have realized the permesso di soggiorno kit is written in Italian. Have no fear, my permesso di soggiorno guide is here! If you haven’t gotten your permesso di soggiorno kit yet, make sure you read my article on How to Get Your Permesso Di Soggiorno

Below, I have included a step-by-step guide on how to fill out your permesso di soggiorno kit.

There are two main parts to the permesso di soggiorno: the main packet and the smaller pay slip.

First I will give directions on how to fill out the main packet.

Remember to fill out the permesso di soggiorno kit in black ink only and in capital letters. If you don’t follow these directions, you will be asked to fill out a while new packet and you don’t really want to go through this again, do you?

If you are filling this kit out for yourself and this is your first permesso di soggiorno then you only need to fill out Module 1

Instructions for Module 01

• At the top where it says “Al Signor Questore di” write the name of your city
• Where it says “(Sigle Provincia)” write the two letters that represent your province
  • In your kit there is a list of the abbreviations
• Place your marca da bollo in the square space below where it says “MARCA DA BOLLO” (I’m sure you figured this one out on your own)
• 3. Your last name
• 4. Your first name and your middle name if it is printed on your passport
• 5. The two letters the represent your province (again)

  • This includes all of the documents you are including in the envelope when you turn it in (photocopies of your passport, health insurance documents, language school document, etc.) and also the 3 pages of your permesso di soggiorno
  • I left this part blank since I wasn’t sure how many documents the post office would accept and the official at the Poste Italiane happily filled in it for me

  • This is probably the same as 35.
• 37. This asks if you are a refugee, check “sì” or “no”

Instructions for the pay slip

You will have to ask the official what the price is but you will put this price, in numbers, in the top right-hand corner and, written out, on the first line where it says, “importo (in lettera).” Write your full name, middle name included if you have one, on the line where it says, “eseguito da.” Then, write your full address on the line where it says, “residente in via.” You will have to write this information three different times because it’s Italy so why should things make sense?

Congratulations on tackling you permisso di soggiorno and good luck at the questura!
