===Where to register with the Italian SSN?===


First of all you have to determine in which ''distretto'' you live in. In order to do this you can use [https://asugi.sanita.fvg.it/it/schede/s_home_page/distretti_ospedali/mio-distretto.html this utility] provided by the ASUGI (Azienda Sanitaria Universitaria Giuliano Isontina). To use it, write the name of your street and the civic number, then click on the ''magnifying glass''. On the map will be displayed your address followed by the number of the ''distretto''. If it does not work add your zip code to your address. Once you ask for the issue of your SSN card, you will also be assigned a [[Doctors, Hospitals and Appointments|general practitioner]].
When you have discovered  which ''distretto'' you belong to, you will follow the proper procedure as following:
'''Distrettos 1, 2 and 4''' fill in the proper documents following these [[Media:PRACTICAL GUIDELINES FOR THE ENROLMENT TO SERVIZIO SANITARIO NAZIONALE.pdf| istructions]]. Then send the documents to phd@sissa.it. Students' Secretariat will forward to the proper distretto. You will receive further information from Secretariat on how to pick up your card. The hard plastic card will be send to your apartment or to SISSA only if your address is correctly set in Agenzia delle Entrate DB.
