For the parent who cannot attend the Questura or the Comune when the other parent applies for the child’s passport or identity card valid for travel abroad. Both parents must consent, even if separated or divorced (Italian Law no. 1185 of 21 November 1967). The Questura has its own free consent form; alternatively a substitute declaration (dichiarazione sostitutiva) like this one is accepted, signed and handed in with a copy of the signing parent’s ID.

Common questions
- Do the Questura or the Comune have a free consent form?
- Yes: the Questura’s passport office provides its own consent form free of charge, and many Comuni have one for a minor’s identity card. You can use theirs or a substitute declaration like this one, always with a copy of the signing parent’s ID. In the province of Bolzano public offices also accept the declaration in German, and in the Aosta Valley also in French.
- What can be done if the other parent refuses to consent?
- Without both parents’ consent the Questura or the Comune will not issue the child’s document valid for travel abroad: the parent applying must turn to the giudice tutelare (guardianship judge), who may authorise it. Since 14 June 2023 a parent no longer needs the other parent’s consent for their own passport (Italian Decree-Law no. 69 of 13 June 2023), but consent is still required for the child’s.
- How does a parent living abroad sign the consent for an Italian document?
- They sign the declaration and send it to the other parent with a signed copy of the front and back of their own ID, which the office uses to compare signatures. If the parent is a citizen of a country outside the European Union, the Questura asks for the signature to be authenticated or stamped by the consulate or the embassy. Before sending it, check with the office that will receive the application which formality it requires.
