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'').
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.
The merging of 7,903 municipal registry offices into ANPR has been completed on the 18th January 2022, representing a total of citizens ( resident and abroad).
