Legal Service
The “Legal aid” information and orientation service consists of two legal help desks in Rome, one at the multicultural library run by the “Cittadini del Mondo” association in Quadraro (Municipal District VII) and another at the “Città dell’Altra Economia” in Testaccio (Municipal District I).
At these help desks in Testaccio and Quadraro a lawyer is available for consultation, working together with a service coordinator from the association. The legal advice given by the lawyer at the help desk is entirely free and anyone needing to start legal proceedings can choose from any of the help desk lawyers.
The advice given at the help desks regards obtaining specific information on refugee status and asylum applications and covers questions such as residence permit renewal, access to Accommodation Centres for Asylum Seekers, checking the progress of residence permit applications (issue and renewal) at the Questura
