Professional Removals to and from Italy Regal Moving & Storage

Planning a move from the UK to Italy requires some key preparations to keep your relocation smooth and stress-free. You’ll need a valid passport and, if staying long term, you must register your residency with the local Comune within eight days of arrival. This process often includes obtaining a codice fiscale (Italian tax code), which you’ll use for utilities, banking and access to public services.

Italy’s healthcare system is regionally managed, so registering with your local ASL (health authority) is important to access medical care. It’s also worth checking the rules on vehicle registration - if you become resident, UK-plated cars typically need to be registered in Italy within a set timeframe.

Historic centres and hilltop towns can have narrow streets, pedestrian zones and ZTLs (limited-traffic areas). We plan access on our side: route checks, parking suspensions and permits, ZTL arrangements, timed slots, and - where needed - external lifts, small van transfers and distance-carry solutions. This proactive planning means moves in places like Rome, Florence or Venice can proceed safely and on schedule without you having to manage local logistics.

Finally, set up the essentials early. Utility connections, mobile plans and broadband can vary by region and provider, so arranging these in advance helps reduce delays. Whether you’re heading to Tuscany, Lombardy or the Amalfi Coast, having documents ready and access planned by our team will help you settle into life in Italy quickly and confidently.
