PLEASE NOTE:
Before scheduling a passport appointment through the PRENOT@MI portal, please verify that you are registered at the Italian Consulate in Los Angeles.

Italian citizens residing for at least 6 months per year in this Consular jurisdiction must EITHER already be registered at this Consulate in Los Angeles OR have submitted an A.I.R.E. registration request to this Consulate through the FAST IT portal. This also applies to citizens currently registered in AIRE who were previously registered at another Consulate and satisfy the residency requirement. AIRE registration is a legal obligation of all Italian citizens (art. 6 of law 470/1988) and is required for passport issuance abroad.

For more information solely with regards to AIRE registration, please send an email to anagrafe.losangeles@esteri.it.

For those who are only temporarily in this consular jurisdiction we kindly request to email the Passport Office at passaporti.losangeles@esteri.it explaining your needs, before booking an appointment.
