1. Gather Required Information
Before you begin the process, ensure you have the following information at hand:
- Your full name
- Date and place of birth
- Gender
- Citizenship
- Parents’ names
Make sure the information you provide matches your official documents.
2. Convert Names to Code
The next step is to convert your personal information into a unique code. Follow these guidelines:
- Write down your surname and given name.
- If your surname has less than three consonants, include the vowels until you have a three-letter combination.
- Do the same for your given name.
Note: If your name is shorter than three letters, use an “X” to fill the remaining spots.
3. Determine Birth Details
Now, let’s tackle your birth details:
- Write down the year of your birth in two digits.
- Identify the month using a code from A to L. (A = January, B = February, and so on)
- For females, add 40 to the day of your birth.
For example, if you were born on July 10th, 1985, the code would be 85L50 for males or 85L90 for females.
4. Determine Citizenship
Refer to the following codes to identify your citizenship:
- American: L219
- Canadian: L233
- English: L282
- Indian: L394
- Italian: L219
- And so on…
Make sure to locate the correct code for your country of citizenship.
5. Verify Control Code
The last step is to calculate the control code, which acts as a verification mechanism. You can use an online tool or follow these steps manually:
- Assign numerical values to each letter and digit using the table provided by the Italian Revenue Agency.
- Calculate the sum of all the values obtained.
- Divide the sum by 26 and note the remainder.
- Match the remainder to the corresponding letter from a predefined table.
For instance, if the remainder is 3, the control code will be C.
6. Assembling Your Codice Fiscale
Now that you have all the components, let’s assemble your Codice Fiscale:
- Combine your surname and given name codes.
- Add your birth details.
- Include the citizenship code.
- Finally, append the control code at the end.
And voila! You’ve successfully built your Codice Fiscale.
Remember, the Codice Fiscale is unique to each individual, and any error or mismatch in the provided information can lead to complications. It is always recommended to double-check the accuracy of your Codice Fiscale before using it for any official purposes.
