Online services and verification

Can I recover my code if I’ve lost the card?

Yes. If your plastic card or certificate is lost or stolen, you can request a duplicate at any local office of the Revenue Agency by presenting your ID. Some offices offer an online form for duplicates. Expired health cards remain valid as proof of the Codice Fiscale.

What should I do if my code doesn’t match my details?

If you discover that the code contains errors in your name, birth date or place of birth, you should request a correction at any Revenue Agency office. Bring proof of your correct personal data (passport or birth certificate). Do not continue using an incorrect code, as errors may cause issues with legal documents and tax returns.

How can I check if my code is valid?

The Agenzia delle Entrate provides an online verification tool where you can input the 16‑character code and a CAPTCHA. The system confirms whether the code is valid. For VAT numbers, the European Commission’s VIES service checks validity across the EU.

Is it safe to use online generators?

Websites that generate codes based on your name and birth details can calculate a likely code but have no legal value. The Revenue Agency warns that only codes officially issued by the Agency or consulates are valid. Using unofficial generators for official purposes may be considered fraudulent.

Can I apply for a Codice Fiscale online?

Yes you can apply for an Italian Codice Fiscale entirely online through this website. The service is managed by ILF – Italy Law Firms, a professional legal network authorized to assist foreign citizens in obtaining an official Italian tax code from the Agenzia delle Entrate.

You simply upload a copy of your passport and a signed Power of Attorney (PoA) authorizing the lawyer to act on your behalf. The legal team verifies your identity, files the request directly with the Revenue Agency, and sends you the official tax code certificate by email in PDF format.
