Please remember that all citizens residing abroad shall register in AIRE as requested by law and in order to have access to Consular services. On this regard, Law 30 December 2023, n. 213 introduced some important changes to AIRE registration. Specifically, art. 1 paragraph 242, amending Law no. 1228 of 24 December 1954, provides fines for those who do not comply with AIRE registration. Specifically, the new art. 11 of the aforementioned Law 1228/1954 allows Italian Municipalities to issue a fine from 200 Euros up to a maximum of 1,000 Euros per person per each year in which the residency has not been updated for a maximum of 5 years.
Furthermore, art. 1 paragraph 243 provides for a specific obligation for all public offices which, should they become aware of citizens failing to update their residency, shall inform the Italian Municipalities. Consequently, the municipality shall communicate the information received to the Agenzia delle Entrate for any action.
