FAQ
Still need help? Chat to get advices and answers from the AnchorLess team.
Does getting a Codice Fiscale make me an Italian tax resident?
Absolutely not. The Codice Fiscale is simply an identification number required for administrative tasks. Obtaining it does not automatically make you a tax resident in Italy.
How long will it take to get my Codice Fiscale?
It depends on the delivery option you choose at checkout: Standard, about 10 business days; Express, 5 business days; Instant, 3 business days. Delivery dates count from the day all your documents are uploaded.
Do I need a valid visa or an Italian address to apply?
If you are an EU citizen, no: a valid passport or national ID card is enough. If you are not an EU citizen, you need a valid Italian visa. You don't need an Italian address.
What documents do I need to provide?
EU citizens: a valid passport or national ID card. Non-EU citizens (UK, US, etc.): a valid passport and a valid Italian visa.
Will I receive a physical plastic card?
No. The Italian tax authority (Agenzia delle Entrate) issues an official, stamped PDF certificate. This digital document is 100% legally valid for signing leases, opening bank accounts, and all other official procedures. The plastic card you might have seen online is the Tessera Sanitaria (healthcare card), which is only issued later if you officially move to Italy and register with the public healthcare system.
Does my Codice Fiscale ever expire?
No. Once officially registered and issued by the Italian government, your 16-character tax code is valid for life.
Do I need to be in Italy myself?
No. With AnchorLess, the entire process is 100% remote.
Do I need a Italian address?
You don’t need a Italian address to apply for a Codice Fiscale number.
What do the 16 characters in my Codice Fiscale mean?
Your tax code is a unique alphanumeric string mathematically derived from your personal details. Here is how the Italian government calculates it:
- - First 3 letters: Taken from your last name's consonants.
- - Next 3 letters: Taken from your first name's consonants.
- - Next 5 characters (Numbers & Letter): Represent your year, month, and day of birth (the day is increased by 40 for women).
- - Next 4 characters (Letter & Numbers): The official land registry code representing your municipality of birth (or your country code if born outside Italy).
- - Final character (Letter): A control character automatically generated by the algorithm to ensure the code is valid.
