How?

  • Log in the Fast It Portal;
  • Click on “Consular Register and AIRE” and then on “Tax Code Assignment”;
  • Confirm the information and start your request;
  • As soon as your request is defined by this Consulate, you will be able to download the Tax Code certificate for you and for any minor children for whom the request has been successful.

If you are unable to download the Tax Code attribution certificate:

  • Register on the FAST IT portal, or log in if you already have an active account;
  • Request the “Online Association” by clicking on “Consular and AIRE Registry” and then on “View your personal data sheet”;
  • You will then receive the message confirming the association in your inbox.
  • Log in to the portal again and download the certificate.

For those who are not registered with AIRE, please read the following instructions carefully, as incomplete requests or applications submitted by other different means will not be processed. Please remember that issuing the tax code is always FREE.

INSTRUCTIONS

Certificato di codice fiscale is always issued free of charge.

Each email must include only one application, and each applicant must use his/her own email account.
The subject line must show the applicant’s name in the following format: LASTNAME, Name: certificato di CF.

Applicants must attach (no links, no embedding) the following documents as PDF files to their emails, addressed to newyork.codicefiscale@esteri.it, sent only from Monday to Thursday, from 8am to 3pm.

If applicants hold the Italian citizenship in addition to that of other countries, they must apply as Italian citizens, and use an Italian passport.

DOCUMENTS

Italian nationals

  1. Application form A44/8 must be filled-out on the computer (handwritten forms are not acceptable), then printed, signed, and then scanned as a PDF file;
  2. PDF scan of unexpired Italian passport;
  3. PDF scan of the driver’s license or other document to prove residence in this consular district.

If the Applicant has been issued a Codice Fiscale previously by Agenzia delle Entrate, it must be included on the application form as well as in the body of the application email.

Please note that, according to Italian law, a new certificato di codice fiscale issued to an Italian national will be based on the name of the applicant at birth.

An Italian citizen applying for a certificato di codice fiscale for a minor child will have to attach to the email:

  1. application form (AA4/8) in the same way as described above (filled-out on the computer, then printed, signed, and then scanned as a PDF file) including the address where the minor child resides, and the information as it appears on the passport of the minor child, and will check the box “Application for a Third party” and type “10” in the box “Applicant Type Code“
  2. PDF scan of the unexpired Italian passport, or the (long-form, if from the US) birth certificate of the minor child;

Foreign nationals

Please note that, due to the high volume of requests, we are currently unable to issue the tax code in a short time. We therefore recommend that you submit the request, even through a delegate, to the competent offices of the Agenzia delle Entrate 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 wide distribution of their offices in Italy. The request can be submitted to any office of the Agenzia delle Entrate. The addresses can be found on the website https://www.agenziaentrate.gov.it/portale/web/english 

Requests are processed in order of arrival. Therefore, we recommend to refrain from sending the same application multiple times, as this would increase the volume of requests and, consequently, the waiting time for users.

  1. Application form A44/8 must be filled-out on the computer (handwritten forms are not acceptable), then printed, signed, and then scanned as a PDF file;
  2. PDF scan of the applicant’s unexpired passport;
  3. PDF scan of the driver’s license or other document to prove residence in this consular district.
  4. signed affidavit explaining the reason for the application.

Please note that a new Codice Fiscale issued to a foreign national will be based on the name appearing on their passport, which for a married woman may be different from the name on their birth certificate.

A foreign national applying for a certificato di codice fiscale for a minor child will have to attach to the email:

  1. application form (AA4/8) in the same way as described above (filled-out on the computer, then printed, signed, and then scanned as a PDF file) including the address where the minor child resides, and the information as it appears on the passport of the minor child, and will check the box “Application for a Third party” and type “10” in the box “Applicant Type Code“.
  2. PDF scan of the unexpired Italian passport, or the (long-form, if from the US) birth certificate of the minor child.

ISSUING THE CERTIFICATO DI CODICE FISCALE

Once issued, the certificato di codice fiscale (including a specific bar code, which can be used to activate SPID), will be emailed to each applicant as a PDF file, which can be printed and used as needed, for all purposes permitted by law.

The applicant must check promptly the accuracy of the data shown on the document, and inform us immediately if a typo is present, by contacting the Consular Assistance Office at Assistenza.newyork@esteri.it, as the office can amend a certificate only within a few hours.
