Is it mandatory to register?

Registration in the municipal registry becomes effective immediately. You can get a certificate of registration on the spot (free).
What is the difference between a card and a certificate of registration?
The card is the standard, free document issued immediately. The certificate has greater legal validity (notaries, courts) and is also free.
