Online calculators do not produce valid codes. Numbers generated by websites have never been registered with the Italian Tax Office and will be rejected everywhere that matters — banks, notaries, property registries. Only an officially issued codice fiscale is legally valid. That's exactly what we get for you.
Everything is handled remotely from our office in Italy. You never need to deal with Italian bureaucracy directly.
Submit Your Form
Fill out our secure online application with your personal details and upload your passport.
Sign the Power of Attorney
We send you a limited power of attorney — authorising us to act on your behalf for this purpose only. We provide everything; you simply sign.
We File With the Tax Office
Our team submits your application directly to the Agenzia delle Entrate and manages all follow-up.
You Receive Your Certificate
Your official codice fiscale certificate is delivered digitally. Legally valid and ready to use.
Official Issue
There are dozens of websites that will generate a codice fiscale from your name and birth details. The number may even look correct. But it is not registered with the Italian Tax Office, which means it will be rejected the moment you try to use it officially.
This is why banks, notaries, and property registries ask for the official certificate — not a printout from a website.
We obtain the real thing.

Consulates used to issue the codice fiscale directly. Since July 2024, this has changed significantly. Most Italian consulates have adopted much stricter policies and will no longer process your request without evidence that you first tried through a delegated representative in Italy.
In many cases, consulates are entirely unresponsive. Relying on the consulate is no longer a practical option for most people.
If your consulate application has been sitting unanswered for weeks — we can still help. Apply through us and we'll handle it directly with the Italian Tax Office.
"All those engaging in long-term activities in Italy who have a need for a Codice Fiscale will have to request it via their delegated representative in Italy FIRST. In the event that your representative is UNABLE to obtain the CF on your behalf, written proof of the failed attempt will have to be provided. Delays are to be expected."Embassy of Italy, Washington D.C. — July 2024
Standard Application
- Copy of your valid passport
- Proof of address in some cases (bank statement or utility bill)
- No birth certificate required
Plus one of the following
- Entry stamp into Italy or any EU/Schengen country (not older than 3 months)
- Current visa issued by Italy or any EU/Schengen country
- No qualifying stamp or visa? We can simply proceed via power of attorney
No. The codice fiscale is purely an identification number and creates no tax obligation. You are only subject to Italian taxes if you are an Italian tax resident, earn Italian income, or own qualifying Italian assets.
A limited power of attorney (procura speciale) authorises us to act on your behalf for one specific purpose only: obtaining your codice fiscale. It does not give us authority over your finances, property, or anything else. We provide all documents for your review before you sign anything.
Standard turnaround is 5–10 business days from when we receive your completed documentation. If you have an urgent deadline, please email us before submitting so we can assess your situation.
No. Once issued, your codice fiscale is valid for life and never needs to be renewed. The only exception is if you legally change your name, which may require an updated code in some circumstances.
Yes. Apply through us as normal. We work directly with the Italian Tax Office and your stalled consulate application won't interfere. Many of our clients come to us precisely because their consulate was unresponsive.
If your name is the same on both passports, either works — though an EU passport generally streamlines the process. If your names differ between passports, contact us for advice first.
One flat fee. No hidden charges. Everything handled from Italy, delivered to you.
- ✓Official codice fiscale certificate from the Agenzia delle Entrate
- ✓All power of attorney documents prepared by us

- ✓Valid for life — no renewal ever needed
The power of attorney must be notarised and apostilled in your home country. This cost is separate from our fee.
Don't worry — we provide all documents and full step-by-step instructions so your notary visit is quick and straightforward.
