The SSN card covers the same period of your permit of stay.
  
−
First of all you have to determine in which ''distretto'' you live in. In order to do this you can use [http://www.ass1.sanita.fvg.it/it/servizi_al_cittadino/mio_distretto.html this utility] provided by the ASS. To use it write the name of your street - omitting the initial ''via'' or ''piazza'' or ''viale'' or similar - and the civic number, then click on ''cerca''. The web page will display your address followed by the number of the ''distretto''. Once you go there, you will also be assigned a [[Doctors, Hospitals and Appointments|general practitioner]].
 
  
−
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 your colleagues). The offices where you can safely (as of November 2014) 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):
