Good evening, no, the passport is authentic—it was requested through ANTS, then an appointment at the town hall. And I’m not the only one who wasn’t asked to sign inside the passport. I know two people in the same situation, in two different town halls, so I thought it was something usual…

good evening, my mistake then. But you should really get your documents checked at a town hall—no advice on this forum can replace that of a public official.
