Italians registered with AIRE (Anagrafe degli Italiani Residenti all'Estero, the register of Italians living abroad) in the various consular districts in Switzerland can finally benefit from a new option that simplifies bureaucracy. Thanks to the update of the Fast It Portal, it will now be possible to download the certificate of assignment of the codice fiscale, the Italian tax code, directly: an essential document for anyone living abroad.

The codice fiscale is an essential part of daily life for Italians abroad, required for a range of transactions and registrations, from opening a bank account to accessing public services. Until now, obtaining this certificate often meant travelling to the consulate, with long waits and complex bureaucratic procedures. With the new online service, the process becomes faster and more accessible.

Benefits of the new service

  1. Immediate access: Italians registered with AIRE will be able to log in to the Fast It Portal at any time to request and download the certificate of assignment of the codice fiscale, reducing the time and effort required compared with the past.
  2. No more queues: Being able to obtain the certificate online removes the need to travel to the consulate in person, considerably reducing the nuisance of long waits in line and making the administrative experience far smoother.
  3. Convenience and flexibility: Digitising the process allows users to handle their paperwork comfortably from home, which helps those who work and have busy schedules.
  4. Better time management: With consulate visits no longer necessary, Italians abroad will be able to devote their time to more important matters, increasing productivity and improving their quality of life.
  5. Support for the Italian community: This new service highlights the Italian government’s commitment to supporting fellow citizens abroad: it responds to the need to modernise consular services and strengthens the bond with the homeland.

Contributing to the modernisation of consular services

This step towards digitisation is an important signal of how Italian institutions are seeking to modernise and make services for Italians abroad more efficient. The introduction of the Fast It Portal as a means of accessing essential documents represents a significant improvement within the consular system.
