Tax ID code

At the Consular Chancery of the Italian Embassy in Oslo it is possible for private individuals to get an Italian tax code issued. The tax code is necessary to be able to carry out tax operations in Italy, and is issued to Italian or foreign citizens that are resident in Norway or in Iceland.

Please note that the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) is the only competent authority for issuing and validating the tax code. The Consular Chancery can therefore only assign a tax code to people residing abroad. To be able to get a tax code through the Consular Chancery, it is essential to have a residence address abroad. Italian citizens who require the tax code must be registered in AIRE (Registry of Italians residing abroad).

Operations that the Consular Offices can carry out:

  • assignment of the tax code (sent by e-mail)
  • assignment of the tax code + issue of a paper certificate (sent by e-mail or by ordinary mail with shipping to be paid by the user)
  • assignment of the tax code + laminated card (by ordinary mail with shipping to be paid by the user) (*)
  • duplicate of the laminated card for loss / theft (by ordinary mail with shipping to be paid by the user)
  • issue of the paper certificate for those who already hold a laminated card (shipping by e-mail or by ordinary mail with shipping to be paid by the user)

(*) please note that in most cases it is not necessary to have a laminated card as the paper certificate has the same legal value as the laminated card.
