Reopening of the Villar Focchiardo post office
News of
The post office in Villar Focchiardo, at via di Mezzo 2, has reopened to the public after renovation works carried out under Poste Italiane's Polis project. The initiative involves about 7,000 post offices in Italian municipalities (comuni) with fewer than 15,000 inhabitants and aims to bring public-administration services directly to local communities [1][2].
The works
The branch has been renovated with new furnishings and colours in the customer area, the introduction of a lane for visually impaired people, low-environmental-impact solutions and a new low-energy-consumption lighting system. A lowered counter has also been installed, designed to make access to public-administration services easier in addition to traditional postal products and services [1][2].
Available services
At the renovated post offices, civil-registry certificates and INPS (national social security institute) services are available, including the pension statement, the single certification and the "OBIS M" form. Thanks to an agreement signed by Poste Italiane, the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy, citizens can apply for or renew a passport by presenting the required documents directly at the counter, without having to go to the police headquarters (Questura), with the option of receiving it at home [1][2].
Opening hours
The post office keeps its usual opening hours: Monday to Friday from 8.20 a.m. to 1.45 p.m. and Saturday until 12.45 p.m. [1][2]. The project is part of a modernisation programme that has also covered other municipalities in the valley, such as Villarbasse and Bruzolo [2].
