Effective immediately, Identità has implemented a new regulation for third-country nationals seeking residence permits. Applicants must now submit a notarized lease agreement as proof of accommodation, replacing the previous requirement of a Housing Authority registered lease.
This change is designed to improve the accuracy and integrity of the application process, preventing fraudulent activities. The notarization by a legal professional ensures the authenticity of the lease agreement and helps safeguard against false declarations.
This update follows recent concerns regarding fraudulent identity cards issued on the basis of forged documents, with an ongoing investigation into these incidents.
