Italian and non-Italian residents of this consular district can send their applications for a codice fiscale certificate only by email to newyork.codicefiscale@esteri.it.
Applications sent by other means will not be considered.
Once it’s issued the codice fiscale certificate will be emailed back to the applicant along with the request to check its accuracy and to promptly inform the Ufficio Assistenza if anything is incorrect since this office has only a very limited time-window to amend a certificate.
The issuing of a codice fiscale certificate is always free of charge.
An Italian citizen requesting a codice fiscale needs to complete application form A44/8 (to avoid misunderstandings we advise typing rather than hand-writing), print it, sign it and scan it in PDF format along with:
- A copy of a valid Italian ID
- The copy of a driver license or other document showing the applicant’s current address
If the applicant already has a codice fiscale issued by the Agenzia delle Entrate, he/she needs to include it in the text of the requesting email message.
Please note that, according to Italian law, a new codice fiscale certificate requested by Italian nationals will be issued using the birth name of the applicant.
An Italian citizen who wants to request a certificate of codice fiscale for a minor child will have to indicate it on the application form (AA4/8) by checking the box “Richiesta per soggetto terzo” and choosing code “10” in the box “Codice Tipologia Richiedente“.
