When it comes to digital identity and authentication in Italy, SPID (Sistema Pubblico di Identità Digitale) is the go-to solution. Whether you’re an individual or a business entity, selecting the right level of SPID is crucial to ensure secure access to online services. This guide will walk you through the available SPID levels and help you make an informed decision.

What are the available SPID levels?

SPID offers three distinct levels of authentication: SPID L1, SPID L2, and SPID L3. Each level provides a different degree of security and access to various online services. Let’s explore them in more detail:

  • SPID L1 (Low): This level offers basic authentication and is suitable for accessing less sensitive online services, such as reading news or participating in non-critical forums. It provides a minimal level of identity verification.
  • SPID L2 (Substantial): SPID L2 involves a more robust identity verification process, making it suitable for accessing more sensitive services. This level is necessary for engaging in activities like e-commerce, online banking, submitting official documents, or accessing healthcare portals.
  • SPID L3 (High): The highest level of authentication, SPID L3, provides the most stringent identity verification. It is typically required for accessing highly sensitive services, such as legal or financial operations, tax-related services, and signing legally binding contracts.

How do I choose the right SPID level?

Choosing the appropriate SPID level depends on the online services you plan to access and the sensitivity of the information involved. Here are a few factors to consider:

  • Nature of services: Assess the level of sensitivity and the type of information associated with the online services you intend to use. Critical services, such as banking or healthcare, usually require at least SPID L2 or L3.
  • Legal obligations: Determine if there are any legal requirements or regulations mandating a specific SPID level for the services you aim to use. Certain activities, like filing taxes online, may demand SPID L3.
  • Future considerations: Anticipate your potential future requirements. It may be beneficial to select a higher SPID level from the start if you expect to engage in more sensitive online services in the future. This way, you won’t need to upgrade your SPID later.

How do I obtain the chosen SPID level?

Acquiring the desired level of SPID involves a straightforward process:

  1. Choose an Identity Provider (IdP) that offers the desired SPID level.
  2. Visit the chosen IdP’s website and follow their registration process.
  3. Complete the registration by providing the necessary personal information and completing the identity verification process. This may involve visiting a physical office or providing digital copies of identification documents.
  4. Receive your SPID credentials, including a username and password.

Once you have your SPID, you can use it to securely access a wide range of online services across Italy.

Choosing the right level of SPID is essential for secure access to online services in Italy. Assess the nature of the services you plan to use, consider any legal requirements, and think about future needs. Then, obtain the desired level by following the registration process of your chosen Identity Provider. With SPID, you can enjoy convenient and protected access to a multitude of online resources!
