Digital Identity Systems: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to use digital identity systems to access all Italian public administration portals through a single login.
Digital Identity Systems allow you to use one single login to access various services provided by the public administration.
Who it's for
This system is available to all residents of Italy.
What you get
You receive single sign-on access to all public administration portals. This means you can use one set of credentials to log into different government websites rather than creating separate accounts for every service.
What it costs you
The service is free if you use your Electronic Identity Card (CIE) or specific authorized providers. You will need to undergo an identity verification process to set it up.
The catch to know
Your SPID password expires every six months, so you will need to update it regularly. You must also keep your mobile phone nearby to handle two-factor authentication (2FA) whenever you log in.
How to apply
- Choose a method for identity verification, such as using your Electronic Identity Card (CIE).
- Select an authorized service provider.
- Complete the digital identity setup process.
- Log in to government portals using your new credentials.
