CARA – First Reception Centres for Asylum Seekers

The foreigner who just arrived in Italy without identity documents and is willing to apply for international protection is assigned to the CARA system, where the identification procedures take place and the asylum application is submitted. Asylum seekers should be hosted in these facilities for a duration of maximum 35 days, while waiting for their asylum application to be processed. 

The CARA system is characterised by huge facilities, high costs, low quality of the services provided, and isolation form residential areas. 

In accordance with the legislative decree n. 142/2015, the CARA centres should have been converted into “governmental centres of first reception”, although replaced by governmental centres for asylum seekers at regional and interregional level, the so-called Hubs established under the Italian Roadmap.
