The Italian Fiscal Code (Codice Fiscale) is a code made up of letters and numbers on the basis of your first name, family name, date and place of birth and it is used by the Public Administration to identify the citizens living in Italy. All those living in Italy need to have their own.

It is possible to obtain it at the Italian Embassy/Consulate of your country.

Otherwise, it is possible to receive it at the local IVA Offices (Uffici Locali dell’Agenzia delle Entrate), bringing along the form filled in, the passport / Identity Card and a photocopy of it.

The fiscal code is necessary to enrol at the IUSS Pavia, to apply for the residence permit, to open a bank account, to receive the payment of a scholarship, to earn a salary and carry out other procedures/activities.

For additional information, please visit the Income Revenue Authory Office's web site. 

If the Italian fiscal code is lost or stolen, its duplicate can be requested at the local Income Revenue Authority Office.

The local Income Revenue Authority Office is in Corso Giuseppe Mazzini 18.
