/ Anagrafe in your local comune.
- Passport

di Soggiorno (EU citizens)

Getting your children into Italian school
By law the Italian school has to accept every minor child (under 18) even if
he/she hasn’t got all the necessary documentation needed to be enrolled.
This is though a temporary enrolment that has to be followed by the regularization
of all the following documents.
These are the requirements for a legal enrolment in an Italian school:
- Birth certificate translated and approved by the Italian consulate
in UK
- Staying Permit (non EU) or Staying card (EU citizens) of children +
parents
- Proof of immunisation against hepatitis B, polio, diphtheria and tetanus
- English school curriculum translated and approved by the Italian
consulate in UK so that the school knows to which class the children belong to.
- ID document (e.g. passport) + pictures
- STATO DI FAMIGLIA certificate of family status which you can get from
the registry office in your local comune but only if you have already
got a residency or you are in the process of obtaining one – which
means you have already requested residency.
If any of the documents needed are not ready at the moment of enrolment,
the children are still enrolled in the school. The parents in this case
have to present a written proof of intention to substitute the documents
missing. This is temporary until all the documents are ready.
The documents that can be temporarily substitute by the proof of intention
are those that can be verified in Italy.
The English school curriculum is therefore not included.
Please do not rely on this information due to law changes.
