In some places the communication can also be delivered to the Public Relations Office of the Municipality.

NB: the identity card of the declarer has to be attached to the communication.

within 8 days from the entry on the territory, the employee or the employer have to report to the Prefecture Office which has released the authorization that the worker has arrived and then complete the paperwork.
