How to live apart from your parents in Italy

If the Italian residence card is handled with parents, the following steps are needed to separate it:

1. Confirm the validity period of the residence card: the validity period of the residence card is generally 1 year. The cardholder shall renew his residence 60 days before the expiration of the residence card, and submit a large envelope (set) to the post office within 60 days at the latest, otherwise the residence card will be invalid after its expiration.

2. Confirm the residence card holder: If the cardholder applies for a residence card with his parents, it is necessary to confirm that everyone's residence card is independent.

3. Apply for an independent residence card: If the cardholder has reached the age of 18 and has independent living conditions, he can submit an application to the Italian local police station to request that the residence card be divided into independent individuals.

4. Preparation of application materials: Prepare the materials needed to apply for an independent residence card, including the examination certificate, tax number certificate, residence certificate, etc.

5. Submit the application: submit the prepared materials to the local police station and pay the corresponding fees as required.

6. Waiting for the approval result: It usually takes about 45 working days to wait for the police to approve the application.

7. Get an independent residence card: If the application is approved, the cardholder can get an independent residence card at the police station.

It should be noted that if the cardholder is under the age of 18 or has no independent living conditions, he/she needs to apply for a residence card with his/her parents and cannot be separated separately. The above information is for reference only. For more accurate information, please consult the local police station in Italy.
