Part of Archive of the Royal Italian Consulate in Alexandria, Egypt (1861–1940)

Article 101 of the 1866 Regulations prescribes that consuls record in a special register all passports issued or authenticated and the fees collected. An extract of this register was to be transmitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the end of each quarter (ibid.).

The register thus served the dual purpose of providing information on the movements of nationals and the entry of foreigners into the Kingdom, and of recording collected fees.

Limited number of passport registers compiled in the forms prescribed by the regulations.

Citizenship. Protection

The consul is the protector of the citizens of the State by which they were appointed. Protection is guaranteed by possession of citizenship. Belonging to the nation also entails oversight exercised by the consul and their office. Protection may extend to foreigners without representation and may also be granted to local subjects; in this case they enjoy the immunities and privileges provided, under the regime of the capitulations, for subjects of the host nations.

Consuls “assist and protect nationals, safeguard their interests, especially when absent, and exercise with regard to them the administrative acts permitted by local laws and customs” (art. 23).

Administrative management and settlement of successions.

Article 104 of the 1866 Consular Regulations provides that consuls notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of every death of nationals occurring in their district and coming to their knowledge, and inform it of all successions opened in the district involving nationals not present locally.
The consul must, however, refrain from interference where there are executors or heirs (or their representatives) present.

In the absence of heirs locally, the consul’s activity takes the form of defence and assistance of the interests of the deceased citizen and their successors.

The extensive succession archives preserved in consular records derive their structure from Article 111 of the aforementioned Consular Regulations, which requires that documents and correspondence relating to individual successions be collected, in original or copy, in a dedicated file bearing on the cover the name of the deceased and the succession number.

  1. 1866-1867, 1870-1872
  2. 1876-1880
  3. 1881-1883; 1886, 1889, 1910 (1 file)

The successions are distinguished from other criminal and civil case files by the indication 'Successione' written on the cover and identified by year and sequential number.
