Codice Fiscale (Italian Tax Code)

The Codice Fiscale is an alphanumerical code issued by the Italian Revenue Authority, similar to the U.S. Social Security Number.

The Codice Fiscale is always issued to Italian citizens.

As of July 2024 the Italian citizens must request the Codice Fiscale through Fast It: FAST IT – The Online Portal for Consular Services – Consolato Generale d’Italia a San Francisco

The Codice Fiscale can also be issued to NON-Italian citizens, but only for specific purposes, such as paying Italian taxes or fulfilling an administrative or legal procedure in Italy, and cannot be issued for unspecified or future needs.

The Italian Consulate can issue the Codice Fiscale to NON-Italian citizens ONLY for inheritance purpose (successione and/or paying Italian taxes due to assets inherited from an Italian citizen).

Applicants for student VISA must request a temporary Codice Fiscale through the website Universitaly during pre-enrollment.

All other NON-Italian applicants must request the Codice Fiscale from the appropriate office of the Agenzia delle Entrate in Italy (Italian Tax Authority) through their appointed delegate, lawyer or real estate agent.
