FISCAL CODES: HOW AND WHERE TO GET THEM
The Fiscal Code is mandatory for everyone and for subjects, different from individuals like societies, associations and entities. For individuals, it consists of an alphanumeric code, formed by 16 characters (both letters and numbers) of which the first 15 refer to personal data of its subject whilst the last ensures the accuracy of the previous data.
How to do it
Can be requested in any of the Agenzia delle Entrate’s (Internal Revenue Agency) offices.
For Italian citizens or members of the European Union, a valid ID is necessary.
For citizens coming from countries outside the EU it’s necessary to have:
- A valid passport with a valid visa, or another document issued by an Italian Authority.
- A declaration of valid identification from a diplomatic representative or consular in Italy from your country of membership (with a photo attached)
- A Valid Permit of Stay
- An ID from the residential municipal
For foreigners that are applying for territorial admission to the PSCs for immigration, for either employment or family reunions, the request for a fiscal code comes from the counter of the PSC, where you can receive your fiscal code.
