Anagrafe nazionale della popolazione residente

The Anagrafe nazionale della popolazione residente (Italian for National register office for the resident population), also known by the acronym ANPR, is the national register office of Italy. It is maintained by the Ministry of the Interior of Italy.

It was created by article 62 of decree 82/2005 (Code for Digital Administration, or Codice dell’Amministrazione Digitale).[1]

The local register offices held by each of Italy's roughly 8,000 Comuni are due to gradually merge into ANPR.

The decision to set up a single centralized database was motivated by several needs:

  • avoiding duplication of communication between different bodies within the public administration;
  • guaranteeing greater certainty and quality to the register data, through univocal national standards;
  • automating and supplanting written communications between administrations, for example in the cases of residence changes, emigration, immigration, censuses, and so on.

As of November 2019, 4,508 municipal registry offices had already merged into ANPR, representing a total of 35,854,124 resident citizens.[2]
