Applicants not registered with the AIRE and foreign nationals resident in the Consular jurisdiction of the Consulate General of Italy in Toronto may apply for Italian Tax Codes (“Codice Fiscale”) at the Consulate, provided that they need it for operations on web portals such as those of the Italian Public Administration, or if they cannot delegate a proxy in Italy, who could apply for the tax code on their behalf with the relevant Italian Authorities.
If this is the case (you need the Italian tax code for online access to Government web portals or you cannot delegate a proxy), and if you are not registered with the AIRE (if you are, click here), you may follow the procedure outlined below.
you may apply by e-mail, sending your complete application to the email address: toronto.notarile@esteri.it
A complete application must include:
– the application form(modulo AA4/8 ENG link will open in a new tab) duly completed and signed;
– copy of a valid passport;
– a document proving that the applicant resides in this consular jurisdiction (utility bill, bank account , lease agreement, etc.).
– in certain cases, a birth certificate to confirm applicant’s particulars may be required (*)
If there is any doubt as to the exact identity of the applicant, the Consulate General reserves the right to request additional documentation.
Please note, that Italian legislation requires that the “codice fiscale” be issued with the particulars indicated on the applicant’s birth certificate. This provision applies to Italian nationals only.
If a married woman who is not an Italian citizen applies for an Italian codice fiscale and she has changed her last name to adopt that of her spouse, the Italian codice fiscale will be based on the particulars that appear on her passport.
In case of married women holding Italian or dual citizenship (Italian-Canadian), who have acquired their husband’s last name as shown on their Canadian passport, the Italian codice fiscale will be issued based on their Italian passport (if available) or on their birth certificate (*).
If the applicant does not have a valid passport, he/she will have to submit their birth certificate (*).
If you are requesting a codice fiscale on behalf of another person, that person’s authorization is also required.
If you are requesting a codice fiscale for a minor, valid photo ID for one of the parents is also required.
If you are requesting a codice fiscale for a person who is deceased, both the death certificate of the deceased and your valid photo ID are also required.
This Consulate General cannot issue a laminated card with a “codice fiscale”, we only issue paper certificates.
To apply for a laminated card you must contact directly the “Agenzia delle Entrate” in Italy.
If you lose your “codice fiscale”, you may request a copy thereof from this Consulate by submitting the same above mentioned
documentation.
