Fiscal code

The Italian tax code ("codice fiscale") is an alphanumeric code of 16 characters issued for free by the Revenue Agency to identify Italian citizens and foreign citizens. 

The Revenue Agency is a non-economic public body that is mainly responsible for collecting tax revenues, providing services and assistance to taxpayers.  

N.B.: The tax code you find in the ISEU certificate, the one you can see in the portal during the admission process or on your YoU@B agenda is not the official one but is automatically generated. To obtain the official one, you must request it from the Italian Revenue Agency as it is the body in charge of issuing the Fiscal Code. 
 

You will need your own "codice fiscale" to: 

• open a bank account
• register at the National Healthcare Service (SSN) - apply for the health card
• sign other type of contracts (i.e. phone number) 

International students can apply for a Fiscal Code once in Italy in one of the Revenue Agencies/Agenzia delle Entrate. Find further information on that at this link. 

In addition to this procedure, if you are an international BSc or MSc student (including Double Degree students), you can request a “Codice Fiscale” through a special agreement between the Revenue Agency and Bocconi. 

Around mid-July, instructions on how to request your fiscal code through this procedure will be shared with all regularly enrolled BSc and MSc students. Please note that this service will be available for a limited time only and is reserved to students that are at least 18 years old when the procedure is activated.
