Hi everyone,

I just received an email about passport submission steps.

They say passport MUST be 12 months valid from the date of the letter (received few days ago),but my passport will expire on March 2020.

They don’t say what to do in case your passport is no longer 12 months valid from the date of the letter.
I am getting all documents ready to be able to renew it and submit the new one. It will take 2 weeks for sure, but what happen if I am not able to submit new passport within the 30 days? The renewal time depends on the police station. I was lucky enough that I was coming back from a short trip when I received the letter. But what if I wasn’t home?
I am very upset about it, and I really want to prevent any case of bad complication.
Do you think there is a way to ask an extension of the 30 days? I contacted Immigration Office of Rome but had no response yet.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
