If you are an Italian citizen, currently residing in our jurisdiction and registered with AIRE (*), you must submit your request through FAST-IT.
In the event of difficulties, you may visit the link below, download the current form (AA4/8), and send it back via email in a single compact/compressed PDF that includes:
- Form AA4/8, which can be downloaded from the website of the Italian Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate):
APPLICATION FOR A TAX CODE, NOTIFICATION OF CHANGE OF DETAILS AND REQUESTS FOR A TAX CODE CARD/DUPLICATE OF THE NATIONAL HEALTH SYSTEM CARD - Copy of your valid Italian passport (biodata page);
- A prepaid/self-addressed USPS PRIORITY MAIL envelope for the return of the tax code certificate (the address on the label must match your AIRE registration’s address).
If you would like the ensuing tax code certificate to be sent to you via email, clearly state this and identify the exact email address you want it sent to.
Email the SINGLE COMPACT PDF to: stcivile.washington@esteri.it
(*) Make sure that your AIRE registration is up-to-date before sending your request. You may update your information via the FAST-IT portal.
Fill out PART B – Personal details of the AA4/8 form carefully according to your Italian ID.
If the applicant is under 18 years of age, both parents must complete and sign the form, as well as include copies of both their IDs and that of the minor.
