Delay in Issuing ID Cards

6 years ago

My wife and I have been living in Italy for a month now after entering on a Permesso de Soggiorno visa from Los Angeles. We registered our presence within 8 days and shortly thereafter received notice that an appointment had been scheduled for us to pick up our ID cards.

The problem is that the appointment is five months from now, in February. We have tried through Italian friends to get the appointment moved up, but no success so far.

In the meantime, what can we do about health insurance? We still have our US coverage but it is useless in Italy.

Also, can we buy a car and get insurance? I don’t want to lease for the 5 months because of the expense (plus/minus $700 US/month) – I’d rather buy if possible.
