The post office in Cervinara has reopened after refurbishment carried out under Poste Italiane's Polis project, according to local press reporting from IrpiniaNews.

The reopening returns a local counter for postal business alongside selected public-administration services introduced through the Polis refurbishment. The report does not give a specific reopening date or street address for the renovated office.

What changed inside the office

The renovated office includes new furnishings and accessibility features. The reported works cover a route for visually impaired customers, a lowered service counter, improved lighting and lower-impact environmental solutions.

These are the physical changes confirmed in the local report. The consulted sources do not describe the scale of the works beyond these elements.

Services reported at Cervinara

The local report lists the following services at the reopened office:

  • selected registry certificates
  • INPS services, including pension-slip, Certificazione Unica and OBIS M services
  • passport requests or renewals at the counter, subject to the applicable requirements and service availability

The article does not specify which individual registry certificates or INPS procedures are currently enabled beyond the examples listed. Readers should treat the list as reported examples rather than a complete catalogue for this office.

Why Polis matters for a town like Cervinara

Polis is designed to extend public-administration services through post offices in Italian municipalities with fewer than 15,000 inhabitants, according to Poste Italiane.

In that model, an enabled post office can provide services beyond mail and parcels, including ANPR certificates and passport applications, depending on the office. Poste Italiane states that ANPR certificates are available only at enabled Polis offices, either at the counter or through Area Self where offered.

This broader context helps explain the Cervinara reopening: the works add both renovated premises and access to selected administrative procedures locally.

What to check before you go

Passport applications through Polis are limited to eligible applicants resident or domiciled in enabled municipalities and require specific documentation, according to Poste Italiane. Eligibility, required documents and appointment rules can vary by service.

Certificate and INPS availability may also depend on operational arrangements at the individual office. Before visiting for a passport, certificate or INPS procedure, check current eligibility rules and whether the service is active at Cervinara on that day.

Reported opening hours

The reported opening hours are Monday to Friday from 08:20 to 19:05 and Saturday until 12:35.

The official Poste sources consulted do not independently confirm these hours or service activation at Cervinara, so readers may wish to confirm them before travelling, especially on Saturdays or before closing time.
