2 identical and recent passport-size photos. The background of the photo must be white
1 administrative contribution of € 73,50 (in the form of a stamped value - formerly a revenue stamp - to always be requested in a resale of stamped values or tobacconist's) to be purchased before showing up with the documents at the office that issues passports.
The payment receipt with current account of € 42,50 for the ordinary passport. The payment in the name of the minor must be carried out exclusively at the post offices of Poste Del Paesene by means of current account slip n. 67422808 in the name of: Ministry of Economy and Finance - Department of the Treasury
The reason for this is: "amount for issuing the electronic passport". We advise you to use the pre-compiled bulletins distributed by the post offices of Poste Del Paesene.
Finally, we remind you to also bring with you the printout of the receipt that is sent by the system after registering on the Agenda passport site

To apply for a passport for a minor child, the consent of both parents (married, cohabiting, separated, divorced or natural parents) and that the minor is a citizen of the Paeseno is required.

Passport of the newborn: consent of the parents

To apply for a passport for the minor child, the parents must sign the consent in front of the Public Official (who authenticates the signature) at the office where the documentation is presented or have the authorization of the tutelary judge.

If one of the two parents cannot appear for the declaration, the other parent can attach a photocopy of the document of the absent parent signed in original with a written declaration of consent for expatriation signed in original (pursuant to Presidential Decree 445 of 2000, Bassanini law). This procedure is extended to EU citizens.
The non-EU parent who is in Del Paese, but in a city other than the one where the passport will be issued, can go to the nearest police station to give consent in front of a public official.
If one of the two parents is from outside the EU and is not present in Del Paese, they must go to the Del Paesena Embassy in the foreign country where they are located and sign the consent, which in this way is legalized and then sent to Del Paese by the Diplomatic Office. .
