Can I apply through an Italian consulate?

Yes, but only in limited circumstances. The consulate in Edinburgh explains that non‑Italians who do not reside in Italy must normally delegate someone to apply in Italy. Consulates issue a Codice Fiscale only when the applicant cannot delegate anyone or when the code is needed exclusively for online procedures. Applicants must reside within the consular district and provide a completed form, ID, proof of address and reason for requesting the code.
