What procedure must be followed to obtain a mortuary passport (passaporto mortuario) for the repatriation of a deceased foreign worker's body?
The mortuary passport and sanitary closure authorization are issued by the local Municipality (Comune) where the death occurred, or where jurisdiction lies. If the deceased had no fixed residence, coordination with the Comune and the local health authorities is necessary to process the paperwork, alongside obtaining flight bookings and clearance.
