Each local authority decides on the type of application accepted. In the case of Milan, only physical applications are accepted (https://www.cittametropolitana.mi.it/portale/URP/Servizi/Territorio-infrastruttura-trasporto/mobilita_trasporti/schede/EsamiIdoneitaprofessionaletrasportoContoterzi?idp=2276&idf=831). In other cases applications in electronic format are accepted (see the case of Lecce https://www.provincia.le.it/conseguire-lidoneita-professionale-di-trasportatore-su-strada-per-conto-terzi/).
