SPID Identity System: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how the SPID digital identity works, who can use it, and how it provides single sign-on access to Italian public administration services.
The SPID Identity System is a digital identity service that allows you to access various public administration services online using a single set of login credentials.
Who it's for
This system is available to all Italian citizens and people living in Italy.
What you get
You receive single sign-on access to digital services provided by the public administration. This means instead of having many different usernames and passwords for different government websites, you can use one single identity to log in.
What it costs you
The service is free if you choose to set it up via a webcam or in person. However, some private service providers may charge a fee if you opt for their premium verification services.
The catch to know
Your digital identity is not "set and forget." Your passwords will expire and you will be required to renew them every 6 to 12 months.
How to apply
- Choose a service provider to manage your identity.
- Select a verification method, such as using a webcam or visiting an office.
- Complete the identity verification process.
- Use your new credentials to log in to government portals.
