The passport? "To get it in Cagliari you have to wait up to 90 days".

To place the Sardinian capital among the "slowest" cities in Italy for the issue and renewal of the document valid for expatriation is Altroconsumo , which carried out a survey putting the waiting times for the renewal under the lens in 13 Italian cities.

And the report shows precisely that Cagliari - where on the occasion of the last Sunday open day hundreds of people queued up in front of the offices of the Police Headquarters precisely with the hope of speeding up the bureaucratic procedures - is one of the centers where one is forced to wait more to get the appointment. Precisely: up to three months .

But in other cities it is even worse. Altroconsumo explains: "In some cases it takes four, five, even six months just to get an appointment at the Police Headquarters and there are cities, such as Genoa and Padua, where there is no availability".

«We have tried - explains the consumer protection association - to book an appointment for the issuance of the passport on the ministerial platform which provides availability at the police stations present within the province. On November 15th we asked our collaborators to check the appointments available in their city. Red screen for Paduans and Genoeses with a slew of 'unavailable' for all possible dates at that moment on the platform . In short, 'try again and you'll be luckier.'

«It didn't go much better in Bolzano and Turin where you have to wait until April and May to have availability. We are more than four months waiting for the South Tyroleans and almost six months for the Turinese. And – confirms Altroconsumo – among the slowest cities we can also include Cagliari , Ancona (three months) and Reggio Calabria (two and a half months)».
