Lecco post offices process 1,520 passport requests in six months

In the six months since its launch, the Polis project has facilitated 1,520 passport issuance and renewal requests through post offices in the province of Lecco, Italy. The service allows residents to submit documentation locally, reducing the need to travel to major administrative centers.

Data shows widespread participation across the province. The highest concentration of requests occurred in Brianza lecchese (566 requests, 37.2%) and the Meratese area (415 requests, 27.3%). Other active areas include the Lecco area, Valle San Martino, and the Lake and Upper Lake regions. Among individual municipalities, Merate recorded the highest number of requests with 144, followed by Calolziocorte with 106.

The service is the result of an agreement between Poste Italiane, the Ministry of the Interior, and the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy. It is available in participating municipalities, allowing residents and domiciled individuals to present documentation directly at the counter without prior booking.
