The Codice Fiscale

Anyone who stays in Italy for longer, contacts the authorities, wants to buy a holiday home, sign a mobile phone contract or open a bank account comes to Bell & rsquo; Italia without the     Codice Fiscale not far. This code is an instrument used in Italy to identify the citizen. This is a combination of letters (abbreviations) and digits, which represent key data of the citizen. First and foremost, these are surname, first name, gender, date of birth, place of birth and country. It is issued free of charge by any tax authority (Agenzia delle Entrate) upon request. This authority can also be found on the Internet at   www.agenziaentrate.it  .

If you want to apply for a Codice Fiscale, you have an identity card or travel document. to submit. One can speed up the whole procedure by already presenting a copy of such a document- which is then put on record. Some tax authorities also require a declaration of the content that in Italy, at least for the time being, one is already   has a residential address. In practice, however, most of the local authorities have now refrained from declaring this & ldquo; domicilio fiscale & ldquo ;. Those who live in Germany or Switzerland can also apply for the Codice Fiscale at the nearest Italian diplomatic mission (consulate or embassy).

& nbsp ;

The assigned code is first communicated to the applicant in a simple printout. It is advisable to keep the paper in a safe place, at least until the ID card has been issued in the form of a plastic card. From now on it is an open sesame in everyday Italian life.
