How To Create an Italian tax code - Codice Fiscale

The Codice Fiscale is an alpha numeric code which is assigned to all Italians at birth. Anyone who comes to live and work in Italy will need this code too.

Recently a number of readers have been having problems with Italian web sites which require a codice fiscale before certain operations can be carried out. For example, online stores in Italy often request a codice fiscale before a purchase can be completed.

The trouble is, if you are not Italian, or not resident in Italy, you probably will not have one of these codes. So here is how to obtain your very own, unofficial, Italian codice fiscale.

Before I explain how to create a codice fiscale be aware that if you ever need a real codice fiscale, the one you create here may not be 100% accurate.

Problems can occur if more than one person has a similar name and surname, was born on exactly the same date and in the same ‘comune’. OK, so this is going to be rare, but I thought I should mention this - just in case.

Note that the code you create with this system is not official - to create a real codice fiscale you will need to get up early and go stand in a queue.

Incidentally, I used the system below to calculate my own codice fiscale and the result exactly the same as my actual code.

Codice Fiscale Creation Instructions

First of all, you will need to go to this site: http://www.comuni.it/servizi/codfisc/

You should see a screen like this (click on the image for a larger version):

How to create an Italian Codice Fiscale

Now, how to complete the screen, enter your

Cognome - Surname

Nome - First Name (from your passport)

Sesso=sex - select M if you are a man, and F if you are the other.

Data di Nascita - Date of Birth

giorno=day - enter a number eg 21
mese=month - select a month eg Aprile

Months in Italian and English

Gennaio - January
Febbraio - Feburary
Marzo - March
Aprile - April
Maggio - May
Giugno - June
Luglio - July
Agosto - August
Settembre - September
Ottobre - October
Novembre - November
Dicembre - December

anno=year - enter eg 1967

Comune di nascita (o Stato estero) - Birthplace - in Italian, for Example ‘Gran Bretagna’ = Great Britain, ‘Stati Uniti’ = United States

Prov - Your country - for those from outside Italy write ‘EE’.

Then click on ‘Calcola il Codice Fiscale‘.

On the next screen that you should see, make a note of the alpha numeric code. It should look something like this: JNS JHN 67B02 Z404Z - 6 letters, then numbers and letters.

Make a note of it and then whizz off to acquire one of those hard to find unlocked Apple iPhones or whatever.

As a matter of interest, the codice fiscale serves in Italy as a tax and health code.

Hope this helps.

If you have problems, let me know.
