What are the legal implications if an Italian residence card (carta di soggiorno) is revoked or lost regarding a dependent German residence card?
If the Italian residence card is revoked or lost, the dependent German residence card is also automatically lost, as it was issued based on the Italian residence card. To challenge this, a TAR appeal against the revocation can be filed, though the outcome of the judgment remains uncertain.

📜 Statutory Legal Analysis & Practical Procedure

Key Procedural Checkpoints:
- Statutory Framework: Governed by D.Lgs. 286/1998 (Testo Unico Immigrazione) and ministerial circulars issued by the Italian Ministry of the Interior.
- Documentation Requirements: Valid passport, active fiscal code (Codice Fiscale), registered rental agreement with housing suitability (Idoneità Alloggiativa), or consular apostilled certificates where mandatory.
- Procedural Timelines: Formal notification must be dispatched within statutory deadlines (e.g. 8 days for arrival declarations, 60 days before expiration for renewals, 10 days for Art. 10-bis responses).
