Changing Citizenship
Good evening,
I lived in Italy for a couple of years and left in 2014 to return to the UK to work before moving back in January of this year. I did not realise I needed to sign myself off out of the local commune so was technically still resident using my UK passport.
I still have my old ID card so have been using that to get a doctor and convert my driving licence while waiting for the police to come and do the resident check.
However, I also have an Irish passport and obviously am keen to have this down as my citizenship to avoid any future issues. Has anyone else done something similar? Would I get a new ID card because of changing it? Would I need to apply for a new driving licence with different citizenship as the application form asks for your citizenship?
any advice would be much appreciated
thanks
