1. Valid Proof of Identity
The first document you will need is a valid proof of identity. This can be either an identity card (Carta d’Identità), a passport (Passaporto), or a driving license (Patente di Guida). Make sure the document is not expired and is recognized as a valid form of identification in Italy.
2. Tax Identification Number (TIN)
Alongside a proof of identity, you will also need your Tax Identification Number (TIN) also known as the Codice Fiscale. The codice fiscale is a unique identifier provided by the Italian government and is required for various administrative purposes. You can obtain your TIN from the local tax office.
3. Registered Residency Certificate (Certificato di Residenza)
To apply for SPID, you will need a Registered Residency Certificate, which proves your residential address in Italy. This certificate is issued by your local municipal office or an authorized post office and serves as proof that you are a resident in the country.
4. Mobile Phone Number or Email Address
As part of the SPID registration process, you will need to provide a valid mobile phone number or email address. This is important as you will receive an activation code via SMS or email to complete your SPID registration.
5. Proof of Residence Permit (For Foreign Nationals)
If you are a foreign national residing in Italy, you may also need to provide a valid proof of your residence permit along with the other documents mentioned above. This is to ensure that you are legally residing in the country.
Remember to bring both the original documents and copies when visiting the post office for your SPID application. The copies will be attached to your application, while the originals will be returned to you.
Applying for SPID at the post office can be a straightforward process if you have all the required documents prepared. By obtaining SPID, you will have access to a wide range of online services securely and conveniently.
