Content disclaimer

In short

Our guides, checklists, news and answers are general information, not legal, tax, immigration, medical or financial advice. Rules change, so each guide names its official source and shows when we last verified it. Every guide and news item is approved by an administrator before it is published. News summaries are checked by a person. Please confirm important points with the official source or a qualified professional. The full text follows.

About this page

MovItaly publishes guides, checklists, airport pages, news summaries and tools for people who move to, study in, work in or visit Italy. This page explains what that content is and what it is not. It applies to everything you read in the Service and forms part of our terms of service. It is provided by Lodato Solutions LLC, a company organised in Delaware, United States.

General information only

Our content summarises public rules and official practice in plain language. It is meant to help you understand the steps and to prepare questions. It is not legal, tax, immigration, medical or financial advice, and it does not take your personal situation into account. Reading it does not create a lawyer-client or other advisory relationship with us. Your case may differ from the examples, so please check the official source or ask a qualified professional before you decide or act.

Rules change and content can be out of date

Italian and European rules, fees, forms, deadlines and office practices change often, and different offices may apply the same rule in different ways. Our guides can be incomplete or out of date, and we cannot follow every local change. Where we have checked a guide, we show a "last verified" date and name the official source, such as a ministry, a police office or a national agency. A date shows when we last looked, and it does not mean that nothing has changed since then. If a page shows no date, treat it with extra care and check the source.

Who approves our content

Guides, checklists and goal content are written or prepared by our team, with tools where helpful, and are approved by an administrator before they go live. A change to published content goes through the same approval. Approval is an editorial check for clarity and for fit with the official source. It is not a legal opinion, and it does not make a page advice for your personal case.

Official sources come first

Each guide points to the official sources it is based on. If our text and an official source differ, the official source applies. Official websites are run by public bodies that are not connected to us, and we are not responsible for their content or availability. We are not a government body, we do not represent one, and we cannot submit applications or decisions on your behalf.

Professionals are independent

Lawyers, accountants, translators, agents and other advisers listed in the Service are independent third parties. They are responsible for their own advice, services and prices. A listing, a rating or a place in search results is not a recommendation or a check of their advice by us. Advice that you receive from a professional is given under your agreement with that professional, as explained in the terms of service.

News summaries and sources

The news section shows short summaries of articles published by other organisations and always links to the original source. The articles and their copyright belong to their publishers, and we use only short extracts or our own summaries, under the licence or legal basis that applies to each source. Summaries may be prepared with the help of AI. Every summary is reviewed by a person on our editorial team, who is responsible for it, before it is published, and the page says so. A summary may leave out details or context, so please read the original article for the full text. How we credit sources is explained in the copyright notice. Opinions in linked sources are those of their authors. If you are a rights holder and want a summary changed or removed, follow the steps in the copyright notice.

Answers from the assistant

The AI assistant uses our guides to answer questions. Its answers can be wrong and are not advice, as explained in the AI assistant notice. The same limits as on this page apply to everything it says. Please read that notice before you rely on any answer, and keep in mind that the assistant has no more authority than the guides it draws on.

Translations

The Service is written in English first. Other languages are produced by machine translation and are labelled as such. Machine translation can contain mistakes or change the meaning of a sentence. If a translation and the English text differ, the English text prevails. Messages translated inside chats are shown only when you ask for them, and you should check the original wording if the meaning matters.

Acknowledgement

During onboarding we ask you to confirm that you have read this page, and a short reminder is shown in the footer of each guide. If you find a mistake in our content, please tell us at To be confirmed with the page and the point that looks wrong. We will review it and update the content where we find it is needed, but we cannot promise a specific time.
