 <\/p>\n

1.What is it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The \u201ccodice fiscale\u201d (Italian social insurance number) is issued by the Agenzia delle Entrate (Revenue Agency). It is the instrument used by the Italian Authorities to identify all Italian citizens, as well as foreigners who may have a need for it, regardless of their place of residence, when dealing with agencies in the public and private sector, as well as government offices. The \u201ccodice fiscale\u201d is made up of a combination of 16 characters that represent the name, surname, sex, date and place of birth of the applicant. It is issued online by the Agenzia delle Entrate through the Consulate General. The \u201ccodice fiscale\u201d is valid for the entire life of the holder.<\/p>\n

2. What is it for?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Any administrative obligation (payment of taxes, duties, fees, etc.) or business activity (acceptance of inheritance, contracts with public or private entities, request for financing, sponsorships, leases or loans for use of real estate, etc.) requires the indication of the tax code of the person carrying it out.<\/p>\n

3.How to apply?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Italian citizens residing abroad<\/strong> can request the tax code through the Consular Office, as well as directly at the Revenue Agency offices located throughout Italy, pursuant to art. 1 of the implementing Ministerial Decree of 17 May 2001, no. 281, taking into account the wide articulation and widespread diffusion of Revenue Agency offices in Italy.<\/p>\n
