To vote in the November 2024 election, U.S. citizens overseas need to have completed a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) in 2024.  Whether you are a first-time voter or have already received ballots and voted absentee in past elections, you must complete an FPCA each calendar year to ensure you can participate in elections as an overseas absentee voter.
You can get voting assistance from the embassy/consulate or drop off your completed voting forms and ballots, addressed to your local election officials, for delivery to the United States via diplomatic pouch.
Ballots can be dropped off at the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate, from 9:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. Monday through Friday (excluding these holidays). Be prepared to present your U.S. passport during your visit and remember to seal your ballot. You can also return your FPCA or ballot to your local election officials via international mail or professional courier service at your own expense.  Normal transit time from Rome to the United States is ten (10) days.  Please add two days for any ballots shipped from other consulates in Italy.
Even if you have never voted while overseas before, the process is easy.
1.     Request your ballot. Complete a new Federal Post Card Application (FPCA). You must complete a new FPCA after January 1, 2024, to ensure you receive your ballot for the 2024 elections.  Submitting the FPCA allows you to request absentee ballots for all elections for federal offices (President, U.S. Senate, and U.S. House of Representatives) including primaries and special elections during the calendar year in which it is submitted.  All local election officials in all U.S. states and territories accept the FPCA.

You can complete the FPCA online at FVAP.gov.  The online voting assistant will ask you questions specific to your state.  We encourage you to request your blank ballots be delivered electronically (by email, internet download, or fax, depending on your state).  Include your email address on your FPCA to take advantage of the electronic ballot delivery option.  Return the FPCA per the instructions on the website.  The online voting assistant will tell you if your state allows the FPCA to be returned electronically or if you must submit a paper copy with original ink signature.  If you must return a paper version, please follow the same instructions below for returning your ballot.
 
2.     Receive and complete your ballot. States are required to send out ballots 45 days before a regular election for federal office and generally send ballots at least 30 days before primary elections.  For most states, you can confirm your registration and ballot delivery online.
 
3.     Return your completed ballot.  While some states allow you to return your completed ballot electronically, others do not.  If your state requires you to return paper voting forms or ballots to local election officials, you can do so free of charge at the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.  Place your ballot in a postage-paid return envelope, or in an envelope bearing sufficient domestic U.S. postage, and address it to the relevant local election officials.

Research candidates and issues.  Please see the FVAP links page for resources you can use to research candidates and issues.  FVAP regularly sends information about election dates and deadlines through their Voting Alerts.  Email vote@fvap.gov to subscribe or follow FVAP on Facebook or Twitter.

Ballots for the November 8th general election are on their way to voters who requested them earlier this year and many voters have already returned their voted ballots. You can still register and request your ballot from your state of legal residence today if you have not already done so – but remember that many states have registration deadlines approaching. You can use FVAP’s easy online assistant at https://www.fvap.gov/FPCA to walk you through each section of the form. After you finish filling out the FPCA, print it, sign and date it, and then send it directly to your election office. Most states accept the FPCA by email or fax while some require it by mail. Check your state-specific guidelines at FVAP.gov. Once you receive your requested absentee ballot, vote and return it as soon as you get it. Remember to carefully follow the instructions, especially if a “security envelope” is required, and sign the package as indicated when returning it. To save time, you can send voted ballots electronically if allowed by state law. Check to see if your state accepts completed absentee ballots by email, fax, or via an online portal at FVAP.gov/guide. If your requested ballot has not arrived, use the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB) immediately at https://www.fvap.gov/FWAB. It is a backup ballot, so if your official absentee ballot arrives after sending in the FWAB, complete and send in the official ballot, too. Only one will be counted. You can also check the status of your ballot -- some states have online ballot status tools - select your state at https://www.fvap.gov/citizen-voter and then click "Check the status of your voted ballot." If an online tool is not available, contact your local election office directly at https://www.fvap.gov/search-offices

Additional Information for non-UOCAVA voters: Uniformed service members, their families, and Department of Defense civilians who are currently stationed in the same location as their voting address may visit vote.gov to register to vote and request information from their local election office to vote locally.
COVID-19 ELECTION UPDATE - FVAP is working closely with state election offices, the Military Postal Service Agency, and other federal agencies to bring you up-to-date information on possible mailing delays.

email (vote@fvap.gov).

Americans can vote in U.S. elections — from wherever they are. FVAP can answer some of your frequently asked questions about the process.
What is my U.S. voting address?
Your U.S. voting residence address is used to determine where you are eligible to vote. For overseas citizens, it is usually the last place you lived in the U.S. before moving overseas. You do not need to have any current ties with this address.
How can I send my Federal Post Card Application (FPCA)?
U.S. citizens voting from overseas may have the option to submit their voting materials by mail, fax, or email. Check your state's specific voting guidelines by selecting your state.
Should I plan to vote at the embassy or consulate?
No. Elections are run at the state and local level. You must communicate directly with your state to register, request a ballot, and vote. Most embassies and consulates will help you to fill out the FPCA and FWAB, but they are not polling places.
When will I get my ballot?
Election offices are required to send absentee ballots at least 45 days before a federal election. If you requested your ballot by email, then the ballot should arrive right away. Mailed ballots will take longer to arrive depending on the postal system in the country where you are located.

02/17/2022 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Office of Public Affairs
________________________________________
Statement by DHS Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas Regarding Actions Taken to Combat Threats Posed by Unruly Passengers to Air Transportation Security
WASHINGTON – The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) continues to leverage the full range of its authorities in response to highly concerning incidents in which airline passengers have intentionally engaged in disruptive behavior. These incidents include verbal abuse, physical assault, and other threats to the safety and security of airline flight crews, Transportation Security Officers, and fellow passengers. 
“We do not tolerate behavior that puts the safety and security of airport and airline personnel, and the traveling public at risk,” said Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas. “We will continue to use our authorities to hold accountable those passengers that intentionally violate our safety and security rules and regulations, including by issuing fines, referring individuals for criminal prosecution, revoking access to trusted traveler programs, and denying boarding when appropriate.”
DHS’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA), in partnership with the Department of Transportation, pursues a range of enforcement actions depending on the severity of the incident and based on a case-by-case determination of the appropriate response. These actions include:
• issuing fines to individuals who violate applicable federal regulations or directives;
• referring individuals who assault airport personnel, airline flight crews, or other passengers to the Department of Justice for potential criminal prosecution;
• revoking or denying eligibility for TSA PreCheck® other trusted traveler programs such as Global Entry for individuals who violate applicable rules and regulations; and,
• denying boarding to those who pose a threat to safety and security.
TSA works closely with airline partners and other federal agencies to share real-time reporting that informs these enforcement actions, while protecting privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties.
In September 2021, TSA doubled the range of civil penalties that may be imposed on individuals who violate the federal mask mandate at airports, on commercial aircraft, and in various modes of surface transportation to protect public health and mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The range of penalties was increased to $500-$1,000 for first offenders and $1,000-$3,000 for second offenders. Since September 2021, TSA has imposed almost $400,000 in civil penalties against more than 600 mask violators. Most violations related to the federal mask mandate have not resulted in physical assaults.

The IRS has issued all first, second and third Economic Impact Payments. You can no longer use the Get My Payment application to check your payment status.

How to Claim a Missing Payment
You may be eligible to claim a Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 or 2021 federal tax return if you didn't get an Economic Impact Payment or got less than the full amount.

It is important to understand that the Economic Impact Payments applied to different tax years. Depending on whether you missed the first, second or third payment, you will need to file either a 2020 or 2021 tax return to claim a Recovery Rebate Credit.

Find Out Which Payments You Received
To find the amounts of your Economic Impact Payments, check:

Your Online Account: Securely access your individual IRS account online to view the total of your first, second and third Economic Impact Payment amounts under the “Economic Impact Payment Information” section on the Tax Records page.

IRS EIP Notices: We mailed these notices to the address we have on file.

Notice 1444: Shows the first Economic Impact Payment sent for tax year 2020
Notice 1444-B: Shows the second Economic Impact Payment sent for tax year 2020
Notice 1444-C: Shows the third Economic Impact Payment sent for tax year 2021
Letter 6475: Through March 2022, we'll send this letter confirming the total amount of the third Economic Impact Payment and any plus-up payments you received for tax year 2021.

You will need the total payment information from your online account or your letter  to accurately calculate your Recovery Rebate Credit. For married filing joint individuals, each spouse will need to log into their own online account or review their own letter for their half of the total payment.

Health Alert – U.S. Embassy Rome, Italy (November 4, 2021)
 
Location: Worldwide
 
Event: On October 25, President Biden announced the United States will adopt a global air travel policy.  This policy prioritizes public health, protecting U.S. citizens and residents as well as those who come to visit us.  Effective November 8 all non-citizen, nonimmigrant (not a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, lawful permanent resident, or traveling to the United States on an immigrant visa) airline passengers traveling to the United States, must demonstrate proof of vaccination as defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Order prior to boarding a U.S. bound aircraft. More details regarding what constitutes full vaccination are available on this page of the CDC website.
 
Fully vaccinated travelers will continue to be required to show a pre-departure negative test taken within three (3) days of travel to the United States prior to boarding.  This applies to all travelers – U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents (LPRs), and foreign nationals.  To further strengthen protections, unvaccinated travelers – whether U.S. citizens, LPRs, or the small number of excepted unvaccinated foreign nationals – will now need to test within one (1) day of departure.  Additional information may be found on CDC’s website.
 
Passengers will need to show their vaccination status, and airlines will need to:
•         Match the name and date of birth to confirm the passenger is the same person reflected on the proof of vaccination.
•         Determine that the record was issued by an official source (e.g., public health agency, government agency) in the country where the vaccine was given.
•         Review the essential information for determining if the passenger meets CDC's definition for fully vaccinated such as vaccine product, number of vaccine doses received, date(s) of administration, site (e.g., vaccination clinic, healthcare facility) of vaccination.
Airlines must deny boarding to passengers who do not meet these requirements or those who test positive for COVID-19.  
 
For additional information or if you have specific questions, please contact your airline and visit the CDC’s website.
 
NOTE: U.S. citizens in countries where adequate COVID-19 testing is not available or who may not be able to satisfy the requirements, should be prepared to remain in place until such time as they can meet the requirements.
 
Actions to Take: 
•         Monitor the CDC website for the latest guidance regarding testing requirements.
•         Check with your air carriers or travel representative prior to departure for the United States.  
•         Check COVID-19 Country Specific Information pages for updated information on COVID-19 related to the availability of testing.  
•         Visit travel.state.gov to view individual Travel Advisories for the most urgent threats to safety and security.  
•         Visit the Department of Homeland Security's website on the latest travel restrictions to the United States.

Health Alert – U.S. Embassy Rome, Italy – December 22, 2020
 
Location:  Italy
 
Event:  The Department of State has issued a Level 3 Travel Advisory for Italy recommending that travelers avoid all nonessential travel (including tourism) to Italy. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has issued a Level 4 Health Notice for Italy due to COVID-19 concerns and recommends that travelers should avoid all travel to Italy. 
 
The U.S. Embassy and Consulates continue to monitor the rapidly changing conditions due to COVID-19 in Italy and in other locations worldwide.  The most current information regarding the impact of COVID-19 may be found on our COVID-19 Information Page. 
 
On December 18, 2020, the Italian Government issued a decree containing new country-wide anti-COVID measures in effect for the holiday period from December 24, 2020 to January 6, 2021.  Throughout this period, a curfew will be in place from 10:00pm to 5:00am, except on New Year’s Eve (December 31, 2020) when the curfew will begin at 10:00pm and continue until 7:00am.
 
Throughout Italy, movement restrictions during this period will generally fall within two categories depending upon the date in question.
 
The following measures will be in place on December 24, 25, 26, 27 & 31 and January 1, 2, 3, 5 & 6.  All non-essential commercial activities will be closed, including bars and restaurants (take-away only service will be available until 10:00pm and home delivery service is allowed).  Essential activities will be open, such as food shops/supermarkets, pharmacies, newsstands, barbers/hairdressers, etc.  Movements are only allowed for the purpose of work, health, or necessity, and are limited to your city of residence.  Returning to one’s residence, domicile, or home is permitted, but not travel to second homes located in another region.  Individuals must carry a self-certification form on all movements during this period.  
 
The following measures will be in place on December 28, 29 & 30 and January 4.  All commercial activities, essential and non-essential, are open until 9:00pm.  Bars and restaurants remain closed with the possibility of home delivery and take-away service until 10:00pm.  Movements will only be allowed within the city of residence (with no need to carry a self-certification form).  Movements outside of the region are not allowed.  Returning to one’s residence, domicile or home is permitted, but not travel to second homes located in another region.
 
During this time, it is also important to remain aware of any additional restrictions in place within your region.  You can also visit the website of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for additional information on Italian Government decrees and measures.
 
On December 20, 2020, the Italian Government issued an order banning all flights from the United Kingdom until January 6, 2021 and prohibiting entry into Italy to anyone who has stayed in the United Kingdom in the 14 days prior to December 20, 2020.  Those who are already in Italy and stayed in the United Kingdom in the 14 days prior to December 20, 2020 must inform their local health office (ASL) of their presence and receive a COVID-19 swab test.
 
U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents are permitted to return to the United States from Italy.  Travelers should continue to check carrier schedules for the latest updates and work directly with the carrier or travel agent to arrange or reschedule travel.
 
Actions to Take:
•        Call Italy’s 112 emergency number or 1500 if you believe you have symptoms and are currently in Italy.  English speaking operators are available.
•        Consult the CDC website for the most up-to-date information on the disease.

Health Alert U.S. Embassy Rome, Italy – October 28, 2020


July 4th Voting Message

Celebrate democracy this 4th of July by taking the necessary steps to vote in the 2020 U.S. elections!
 
In order to vote in the November 2020 elections, all overseas U.S. citizens need to have completed a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) in 2020.  Whether you are a first-time voter or have already received ballots and voted absentee in past elections, you must complete an FPCA each year to participate in elections as an overseas absentee voter.
Registering to Vote and submitting a ballot is fast, easy, and can be done from anywhere in the world! Follow a few simple steps to vote in the 2020 U.S. elections:
1.     Register to vote:  Start by confirming your voter registration with your state.  Some states require absentee voters to register annually, so you may need to re-register.  Go to FVAP.gov to connect to your state’s voter portal to register to vote, request a ballot, and more.
 
2.  Request Your Ballot: Most states provide the option to request ballots through their state election portals, which you can easily access via FVAP.gov.  You can also choose to complete a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA). The completion of the FPCA allows you to request absentee ballots for all elections for federal offices (President, U.S. Senate, and U.S. House of Representatives), including primaries and special elections, during the calendar year in which it is submitted.  FPCA forms that are correctly filled out and include a signature and date are accepted by all local election officials in every U.S. state and territory.  FVAP’s easy online assistant can assist you with completing the FPCA. 

Whether you request your ballot through your state’s portal or the FPCA, we encourage you to select the option to receive your ballot electronically (by email, internet download, or fax) when available.  This is the fastest way to get your ballot and ensures you have it in time to return a completed form before your state’s deadline.
 
3.  Receive and Complete Your Ballot:  States are required to send out ballots 45 days before a regular election for federal office, and states generally send out ballots at least 30 days before primary elections.  Most states allow you to confirm your ballot delivery online.
 
4.     Return Your Completed, Signed Ballot:  Some states allow you to return your completed ballot electronically.  If your state requires you to return paper voting forms or ballots to local election officials by mail, you can do so through international mail, professional courier service, or through the U.S. Consulate in Florence.  The diplomatic pouch provides free mail service from embassies and consulates to a U.S. sorting facility.  You will need to place your ballots in postage-paid return envelopes or in envelopes bearing sufficient U.S. postage in order for them to be delivered to the proper local election authorities once received by the U.S. sorting facility (NOTE: postage from Italy to the United States is not required using this method).
 
If you are sending your ballot through the U.S. Consulate in Florence, ballots can be dropped off in a ballot box maintained outside of the main entrance at Lungarno Vespucci, 38 from 9:00am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday (excluding these holidays).  Be prepared to present your U.S. passport during your visit.  Please note that it can take more than three weeks for mail to reach its destination if sent through the Consulate.  Ballots will be received and forwarded whenever submitted but you may want to consider using a courier service if submitting your ballot close to or after the stated delivery time for pouch mail.
Researching the Candidates and Issues:  Online Resources.  Go to the FVAP links page for helpful resources to aid your research of candidates and issues. Non-partisan information about candidates, their voting records, and their positions on issues are widely available and easy to obtain online. You can also read national and hometown newspapers online, or search the internet to locate articles and information. For information about election dates and deadlines, subscribe to FVAP's Voting Alerts (vote@fvap.gov). FVAP also shares Voting Alerts via Facebook (@DODFVAP), Twitter (@FVAP), and Instagram (@fvapgov).
Learn more at the Federal Voting Assistance Program's (FVAP) website, FVAP.gov.  If you have any questions about registering to vote overseas, please contact U.S. Consulate Florence’s Voting Assistance Officer at USCitizensFlorence@state.gov.
Remember, your vote counts!

Message to U.S. Citizens: FVAP Voting Resources
 
U.S. Embassy Rome, Italy – May 8, 2020
 
The Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) is aware of the impact of COVID-19 on U.S. citizens abroad, Service members, and their eligible family members, when voting absentee during the remainder of the 2020 election cycle.
 
FVAP is in communication with state election offices, the Military Postal Service Agency, and other federal agencies to bring you up-to-date information on state election date changes and mailing cycles.  Due to the changing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic occurring around the globe, we recommend that you contact your local post offices regarding possible delivery delays before mailing your voted ballot.
 
Here are some important things to remember:
1.     Submitting your Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) early is the best way to help ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible.
2.     Using the FPCA provides overseas citizens with an option to receive balloting materials electronically.
3.     Using the FPCA early grants voters the ability to use the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB) as a backup ballot, if needed.
 
Actions to Take:
•        Check the ballot return options in your state.
•        Find your state’s primary election dates.
•        Use our online assistant to complete your FPCA.
•        Use our online assistant to complete your FWAB.
•        Enroll in Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive Alerts and Messages from the U.S. Mission to Italy.

Location: Italy

Event: Passport processing centers in the United States have suspended operations due to COVID-19. They are no longer printing non-emergency passports or Consular Reports of Birth Abroad received from overseas U.S. embassies and consulates.

If you have an immediate need to travel and have a confirmed flight to the United States, please contact U.S. Embassy Rome or your local consulate and request an emergency passport appointment.

International commercial flight options currently exist in Italy. U.S. citizens who wish to return to the United States should make commercial arrangements as soon as possible unless they are prepared to remain abroad for an indefinite period.

Event: The Department of State has issued a Level 3 Travel Advisory for Italy recommending that travelers avoid all nonessential travel (including tourism) to Italy. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has issued a Level 3 Health Notice for Italy due to COVID-19 concerns and similarly recommends that travelers defer all nonessential travel to Italy.
 
On November 3, 2020, the Italian government issued a decree enacting new health measures to restrict the spread of COVID-19. Valid until December 3, 2020, this decree imposes a nationwide curfew, extends protections in place requiring the use of masks country-wide, permits regional officials to restrict access to public locations, and requires the closure of facilities such as gyms, museums, swimming pools, cinemas, and theaters, amongst others.
 
During this time, it is important to remain aware of restrictions in place within your region.  For example, movement outside your city of residence/domicile and to/from other regions may be prohibited except for work, study, health reasons or for emergencies.  See link here.  A self-certification form may be required.  Travelers can visit the website of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for additional information on Italian government decrees.
 
Given the COVID-19 situation in Italy, the U.S. Embassy in Rome and Consulates General in Milan, Florence and Naples have limited the level of consular staffing and appointments for routine American Citizen Services, including passport and notarial services. In addition, as of November 9, 2020, the U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Italy will restrict immigrant and nonimmigrant visa appointments. We continue to provide emergency and mission-critical visa services as resources and local conditions allow. We will resume routine visa services as soon as possible but are unable to provide a specific date at this time. 
 
All individuals entering consular buildings must wear a face covering in accordance with Italian government decrees mandating social distancing. In addition, individuals who have traveled within the past 14 days to acountry requiring self-isolationor a negative COVID-19 test upon return to Italy will not be allowed to enter the U.S. embassy or consulates in Italy.
