📖 Plain Language Guide

Government info is complicated. Here's what you really need to know:

💡What is it?

This is the service to track your residence permit application (first issue, renewal, or conversion). It lets you know if your document is ready for pickup or still being processed.

👤Who is it for?

Anyone who has submitted a residence permit application and received the yellow receipt from Poste Italiane.

When?

You can check the status anytime after submitting your application. Usually data is updated within 30 days of submission.

🛠️How to do it?

1. Find your Poste Italiane receipt (the yellow assicurata). 2. Look for the 'Practice Number' (10 digits) or 'Assicurata' code (12 digits) at the top right. 3. Enter it on the Polizia di Stato website (https://questure.poliziadistato.it/stranieri/). 4. If it says 'Document ready for collection', wait for the SMS with the pickup appointment.

⚠️Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using the wrong password on Immigration Portal (password is WITHOUT dashes)
  • Going to Questura without appointment/SMS even if it shows 'Ready'
  • Worrying about 'Not found in archive' if application was submitted less than 30 days ago
  • Confusing practice number (10 digits) with assicurata number (12 digits)
  • Not checking for 'Document Anomalies' on Immigration Portal if application is stuck
