The Italian Tax ID is a unique identification code assigned, for tax purposes, to every Italian or foreign citizen and is mandatory in order to rent a room or property.
To obtain your Italian Tax ID, you can choose from the following options:
- Italian Embassy or Italian Consolate in your country: you can apply for the Italian Tax ID by going in person to the Italian embassy or italian consolate or by requesting it online on the website of the embassies which provide this service.
- Revenue Agency in Italy: you can go to the office of the Italian Revenue Agency nearest you with an identity card/passport and visa/residence permit (if necessary) and apply for it. The document is issued on the spot and is totally free.
The only valid and accepted Italian Tax ID is the one issued by the Revenue Agency, any other Italian Tax ID issued by websites not accredited by the latter won't be accepted.
