What is an Italian Codice Fiscale?

The Codice Fiscale is the Italian national identification number for taxes purposes. It is a unique and personal combination of letters and numbers that identifies any Italian or foreign citizen permanently. The Italian tax office provides a card with the tax number on it.

The Codice Fiscale (Italian tax number) is issued directly by the Agenzia delle Entrate (Italian Tax Agency). However, since it can be calculated from personal information (full name, date and place of birth), it is not considered private or confidential, nor is it recognized as official proof of identity. In addition, it does not contain an image of the holder (unlike any other valid ID).
