Issuance of the codice fiscale: restrictions for non-Italian citizens

Issuance is restricted to the following categories:

O fiscal Code, managed by the Agenzia delle Entrate, is a tax identification number essential for various activities in Italy. At the consulate, the application and issuance follow different procedures for recognized Italian citizens and those who do not yet have the Italian citizenship.
