PRENOT@MI
What is Prenotami? It is a service offered by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs that allows you to book various consular services online directly from your home.
The Prenot@mi portal aims to allow Italian or foreign citizens to book some consular services free of charge, such as entry to the queues for Italian citizenship and the issue of an Italian passport.
In other words, the services of Italian consulates all over the world, including those dedicated to foreign citizens who wish to come to Italy to study, work or for family reasons.
With this in mind, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through prenotami, is proposing a number of innovations to increase security in order to verify the identity of users and protect their data, as well as making the interface simpler and easier to use.
The prenotami system allows people to make an appointment before physically going to the consulate, reducing waiting times and improving the efficiency of consular services
During the booking procedure, users can also upload the documents required to provide the service they need. This will reduce the processing time at the counter on the day of the appointment.
