Direct answer: Do not file a second case. Notify the original office and ask in writing whether the file stays or transfers.
Who this applies to: Anyone moving while renewal is pending.
Practical steps: 1) update address with municipality; 2) send receipt, address and housing proof to original office; 3) ask which Questura will summon you; 4) do not miss existing appointment; 5) attend new office only after written confirmation.
Documents to keep: Receipt, ID, residence or hospitality proof, accommodation title and traceable messages.
Verifiable timing and costs: No separate national transfer fee is established; reprinting depends on office.
Exceptions and special cases: Within one province an update may suffice; between provinces confirm jurisdiction.
If the procedure stalls: If no answer, send a traceable reminder and request file access; keep address proof.
Practical example: After moving Bologna-Modena, the applicant informs Bologna and waits before attending Modena.
