ITALIAN TAX CODE
The tax code is the citizen’s means of identification in relation with all Italian authorities and public administrations.
APPLICATION FOR ITALIAN NATIONALS
Italian nationals legally residing in the Republic of Ireland and registered in AIRE will be able to download the tax code certificate using the Fast It Portal.
How?
1. Log in to the Fast It portal;
2. Click on “Consular Register And AIRE”, then click on “Attribuzione Codice Fiscale”;
3. Confirm your details and submit your request;
4. Download your tax code certificate.
If you cannot download your tax code certificate:
1. Register or log in to your Fast It account;
2. Click on “Consular Register And AIRE”, then click on “Comunicare la variazione della propria residenza”;
3. Once you receive an email confirming your account activation, log in again and follow the steps above to download your certificate.
If you have an Electronic Identity Card (CIE), the Italian tax code is shown on your document.
If your wish to apply for a child born abroad please ensure that:
The birth certificate has been registered with the Municipality in Italy. The child is registered in AIRE.
After receiving confirmation from the Italian Municipality that the birth is registered and that the AIRE registration is completed, the parent will be able to log in using his/her account and download the certificate.
If you wish to apply for a child born in Italy, the birth is automatically registered. Please only ensure that the child is registered in AIRE.
SPID REPLACES THE SYSTEM FOR ACCESSING THE FISCONLINE TELEMATIC SERVICES (WITH PIN)
From 1 October 2020, SPID, the Public Digital Identity System, allows access to the online services of the Public Administration and adhering private entities through the creation of a single Digital Identity that can be used by computers, tablets and smartphones.
Italian citizens registered with AIRE in this consular district cannot request the Italian health card and in order to request SPID, they must therefore obtain a copy of the tax code.
SPID is free. For more information and a list of managers see:
https://www.spid.gov.it/richiedi-spid?lang=it
Italian citizens residing abroad MUST apply for SPID by 31 December 2022. Starting from 28 February 2021, all Italian citizens residing in Italy who request online services from the Italian Public Administration must certify their identity exclusively through SPID or the CIE .
SPID will become the only way to access the FAST IT service, and therefore the only way to request most of the Consular services.
To get SPID you need:
• valid Italian identification document (identity card, passport, Italian driving license – citizenship does not appear in the English one);
• Certification of the tax code;
• email address;
• mobile number for personal use (check if the service specifically requires an Italian mobile phone because this could make it more difficult to send or receive messages).
For the release of the tax code certification, read the information at the top of this page.
It is recommended that Italian citizens residing abroad select a manager that allows identification via webcam or via smartphone app.
SPID replaces the previous PIN credentials for accessing “Fiscoline” for completing tax returns. All information is available on the Revenue Agency website: https://www.agenziaentrate.gov.it/wps/portal/entrate/home
