Is codice fiscale required for a child?

Codice fiscale is necessary for everyone, including children. For instance, a 5-year-old needs it for various official procedures, such as school enrollment or opening a bank account.

Some participants report that for children starting from 11 years old, obtaining codice fiscale is also mandatory, especially if family reunification is planned.

Codice fiscale can be obtained via email right after entering Italy by attaching a passport and other documents. This can be done at the tax office.

If you already have codice fiscale, it can be used to obtain other documents, such as tessera sanitaria or to open a bank account.
