  4. Digital Identity (SPID)

SPID is the authentication system that allows citizens to access online services of the Italian public administration entities with a single digital identity. SPID identity consists of credentials (username and password) that are issued to the user and that allow access to all online services. 

To get SPID, you will need to be an Italian Citizen or foreign citizen registered as resident of Italy (and Milano) and own an Italian ID. 

The issuing of SPID credentials by any of the authorized providers is free of charge in its basic form. Providers may charge for additional services or alternative ways of registering, such as remote online recognition. 

How to get the SPID 

SPID is released via several companies that act as providers. 

You will choose one of the Identity providers and register with them. You'll be asked to provide personal data, documents and an e-mail. You will also be required to possess an Italian sim card where to get SMS, as well as a smartphone and a specific app. 

Your SPID credentials will be created, and you will perform recognition in-person at an appointment, or via a video call, or via digital identification.9 

Digital identity issuing times depend on the individual Identity Provider.
