Letter to Sindaco Requesting Action

Draft a letter to the sindaco (town mayor) of your town of interest to request his action following no response from a prior request to the stato civile for the town.

About this letter

This letter should only be used if you have sent a letter to the Stato Civile or Anagrafe, received no reply, then sent a follow-up letter, which also went unanswered for at least a month. There was a law passed in Italy on 7 August 1990, law 241, that establishes the right of the public to receive a reply from a public office within thirty days of a request. This letter rarely goes unanswered. You will find this extremely effective. Be sure to include a copy of your follow-up letter with this letter.

Instructions

Fill in/select the appropriate information in the spaces below, then click the submit button. The letter will then be translated and shown to you. Be sure to print it or save the page to your computer at that time.

I know that it takes time to complete research, but I fear that my letter has been lost under other papers or forgotten. I ask if you could kindly intervene in this case, according to law 241 of 1990 regarding access to public documents, so that I may receive a reply within a reasonable time.

I thank you in advance for your kindness and efficiency. Please tell me the cost of the certificates and postage. Also, please provide payment instructions. Alternatively, if it is simpler to send the certificates via email, that is preferable.

Sincerely,

[your first name] [your last name]
