SPID (Sistema Pubblico di Identità Digitale): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to use Italy's digital identity system to access all public administration services online with a single login.
SPID is a digital identity system that allows you to access all public administration services online using a single login.
Who it's for
This service is available to all residents of Italy who are over the age of 18.
What you get
You receive a single digital identity that works across various government portals. Instead of having different usernames and passwords for every different office, you use this one identity to log in to all public administration services.
What it costs you
The service is free of charge. However, you will need to invest some time to complete the identity verification process, which can be done through a webcam or by visiting an office in person.
The catch to know
Your login credentials are not permanent; passwords expire and must be renewed every few months to keep your account active.
How to apply
- Visit the official website to choose your preferred method.
- Complete the identity verification process via webcam or in person.
- Set up your digital credentials.
- Use your new identity to log in to government services.
