A passport-inhibiting order is a measure taken by the court, which may inhibit the issuance of a passport to a parent with minor children, when there is a concrete and current risk that, due to the move abroad, he or she may evade the fulfillment of his or her obligations to the children. An application for an injunction or passport-inhibiting order shall be made by appeal to the ordinary court of the place where the minor has his or her habitual residence. If the child is resident abroad, the application shall be brought before the court of the place of last residence in Italy or the court in whose district his or her municipality of AIRE registration is located.
The parent of minor children must carefully fill out also Section B of the passport application form.
