Domicilio Digitale (PEC): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to use a certified email (PEC) for official legal correspondence and government notices in Italy.
Domicilio Digitale (also known as PEC) is a certified email service that provides a legally valid way to receive and send official communications.
Who it's for
This service is available to all professionals and businesses.
What you get
You receive a specialized email address that carries the same legal weight as a traditional registered letter. It serves as your official digital address for all formal correspondence with government bodies and other entities.
What it costs you
You will need to pay an annual subscription fee to a provider to maintain the service. This cost is typically around €10-20 per year.
The catch to know
This is your official channel for receiving government notices. You must check this inbox regularly, as missing a message is legally equivalent to receiving a physical letter at your home.
How to apply
- Choose a certified email provider.
- Sign up for a subscription plan.
- Verify your identity according to the provider's requirements.
- Use your new address for all professional and official digital communications.
