What is it used for?
A Codice Fiscale may be requested when buying or renting property, opening certain bank accounts, starting work or study, signing contracts, registering utilities or dealing with Italian public authorities. The exact requirement depends on the transaction and organisation involved.
Is it the same as a tax return or tax registration?
No. Having a Codice Fiscale does not by itself mean that you are registered for Italian tax, resident in Italy or required to submit an Italian tax return. It is primarily an identification code used in many administrative processes.
Can foreigners obtain a Codice Fiscale?
Yes. Foreign nationals can need and obtain a Codice Fiscale. The appropriate application route can depend on where you live, your nationality, the reason you need the code and the documents available.
What information is normally required?
Applicants generally need accurate identity information, place and date of birth, current address, nationality and a valid identity document. Additional documentation can be required depending on the application route and circumstances.
