Tax Code

The Tax Code, issued by the Revenue Agency, is the citizen’s identification tool in relations with Italian public bodies and administrations. It can be requested abroad, both by Italians and foreigners, through the consular office.

The Revenue Agency sends the Tax Code card to the Consulate General, the times of receipt are therefore not predictable.

Applicants are invited to carefully select the type of request, in the appropriate field on the form:

  1. Issue of the Certificate with the attribution of the Tax Code
  2. Issue of the Certificate with the attribution of the Tax Code and card
  3. Duplicate of the card

Those who are leaving for Italy are invited to request only the issue of the Certificate with the attribution of the Tax Code. The request for the card can be presented at the offices of the Revenue Agency in Italy.

To request the Tax Code at the consular office, it is necessary to present the application form together with a copy of the documents listed below:

  • Copy of passport or other valid identity document
  • Copy of Marriage Certificate (for married women)
  • Copy of Birth certificate
  • Proof of residency in the jurisdiction (US driver’s license or utility bill or rental agreement)
    Shipping:
  • 2 pre-stamped envelopes with the address where you want to receive the Tax Code, if the certificate and card have been requested (one envelope will be used to send the original certificate with the attribution of the Tax Code and the second to send the card received from the Revenue Agency); OR
  • 1 pre-franked envelope with the address where you want to receive the Tax Code, if only the certificate with the attribution of the Tax Code has been requested.
