What is particular here

  • Since 1948 every municipality has had to run an agenzia. The canton plans to replace them with regional advice points. At the end of 2025 there was still one per municipality.
  • Bellinzona has two agenzie, depending on the district: Nord in the Palazzo Civico at Piazza Nosetto 5 and Sud in Sementina at Via al Ticino 6.
  • In Locarno the agenzia sees people by appointment only, in Chiasso by appointment only in the afternoon.
  • In Mendrisio the municipality's district offices (uffici comunali di quartiere) also accept the registration form.
  • The Cassa cantonale di compensazione AVS has its counter in Bellinzona, Via Ghiringhelli 15a: 8:45 to 11:45 and 14:00 to 16:00.
