USEFUL INFO
>Codice Fiscale:
What is it? Do you really need one?
It depends.
Codice Fiscale is mandatory for a number of activities, such as opening an Italian bank account, buying a mobile phone number or to rent an apartment for more than 30 days*, among the others.
How can you get one?
You can apply for your codice fiscale for free through any tax office (Agenzia delle Entrate) in Italy or through an Italian consular office or Embassy.
What to do you need?
If you are a citizen of an EU country or another country from which a visa is not required, all you will need is your passport/ID.
If you are from an extra-European country, you will need to bring along your Visa as well as your identification.

*unless you rent from a housing platform, like Uniplaces.
