Tax offices in Lombardia

Prepare an in-person agency appointment

The national guidance lets EU citizens apply at an Agenzia delle Entrate office with valid identification. Check the service at your chosen territorial office; a local branch may have a narrower remit. The current English agency notice requires personal attendance for a foreign citizen’s first assignment.

Prepare

• AA4/8 form with the reason for your request.
• Valid identification accepted by the agency.
• Appointment confirmation showing the office, address, service and in-person mode.

Check whether a code has already been assigned

For relevant non-EU entry and residence procedures, the Sportello Unico per l’Immigrazione or Questura may assign the codice fiscale. Check your existing documents and contact the authority handling your file before starting a new first request.

Prepare

• Documents from your entry or residence procedure.
• Any existing tax-code assignment or temporary number.
• The contact for the authority already handling your file.

Confirm the route for your circumstances

The national guidance describes an agency route for other cases. The accepted identity and stay documents depend on your situation; do not assume that every listed document is mandatory for everyone. Plan for the personal attendance required by the current notice.

Prepare

• AA4/8 form and the reason you need a codice fiscale.
• An accepted identity document; a visa where required.
• Evidence of your right to stay in Italy, even temporarily, as applicable to your case.

Check the consular route before planning a trip

The foreign ministry describes consular, arrival-in-Italy and representative routes for different non-resident cases. Italian adults registered with AIRE can check the Fast It route. Confirm the applicable procedure with your consulate: the ministry’s representation guidance and the agency’s personal-attendance notice need to be read for your case.

Prepare

• Your reason for the request and country of residence.
• The instructions of the Italian consulate responsible for your address.
• Confirmation of any representation requirements before arranging assistance.

Choose a correction, duplicate or certificate

An existing code is a different request from a first assignment. Identify whether you need to correct personal details, replace a document or obtain confirmation of the code. A health-card request is also distinct from assigning a tax code.

Prepare

• Your existing code or assignment certificate, if available.
• Identification and the details that need updating, if relevant.
• The matching service category in the agency’s booking system.
