To use it write the name of your street - omitting the initial ''via'' or ''piazza'' or ''viale'' or similar - in the first form field and the civic number in the second form field, then click on cerca. The web page will display your address followed by the number of the ''distretto''.
The original receipt of the payment


When you have discovered  which ''distretto'' you belong to you have to locate the nearest office and go there (if you're not fluent in Italian it's better to ask for assistance from some of your colleagues ). The offices where you can safely (as of January 2012) go are located (more info on the [http://www.ass1.sanita.fvg.it/servlet/page?_pageid=71&_dad=pass1&_schema=PASS1&act=2&id=4467 ASS website] - please note that certain offices listed on that page won't accept these kind of requests or will accept them on certain days only):
