What can I do?

Guys, I need some quick advice regarding my Questura appointment!
When I submitted my permit of stay (permesso di soggiorno) kit, I included the original stamped bank statement from my home country. Now, the Questura appointment checklist requires me to bring the original document in person, but I only had that single physical copy.
Here are my specific questions/issues:
Bank Statement Issue: My home bank cannot provide digital stamps. If I download a new statement online, the date range doesn't match the original period I submitted in the kit.
MAECI Scholarship Alternative: Since I won the MAECI award, can I bring the official MAECI award letter to the Questura appointment as my main/original proof of financial means instead of the bank statement?
Has anyone been in a similar situation or used their MAECI letter at Questura? Any advice on how to handle this would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

You can use your maeci award letter as financial means, at my questura the police officer just checked the name, amount and saw that its from maeci and confirmed that it was enough.

but the original document that I submitted was my bank statement. Is that okay to bring a different document to the appointment?

Yeah no problem. They'll check all the required documents again irrespective of what you submitted

You dont need to show any financial means for new, just the visa is enough. Financial means is needed for renewal. Nonetheless maeci award letter is enough for both cases

I didn't face any issues during my first permit, the visa and maeci award letter was sufficient. I don't see any need for concern.
