Cultural Tip
In Italy, most public offices keep forms at the reception or an information desk. It’s common to add a polite *posso* (can I) before the verb, especially when speaking to staff. Also, remember that many forms are now available online, so you might hear *puoi scaricarlo dal sito* (you can download it from the website).
