The codice fiscale is the Italian tax code which you will require in getting into any legal relationship whatsoever, including your housing contract with the EUI. You can get a codice fiscale at the Italian Embassy in your country before you come, or you can get it from the Agenzia delle Entrate office in Florence when you arrive. We recommend you to get it before you come to Italy as it would be one less urgent thing to do here once you come. You can do your check-in without the codice fiscale, however you will need to go to the city centre right away to get it after check-in as we cannot proceed with preparing your contract without it, which may create legal complications.

You may obtain your Codice Fiscale either from the Italian Embassy or Consulate in your home country, or by requesting an appointment at the relevant office in Florence when you arrive.  You can request the appointment through this webpage. 

Address in Florence: Agenzia delle Entrate Direzione Provinciale di Firenze, Via Santa Caterina d’Alessandria, 23 50129 Firenze.

Please note: if you are joining the EUI as a newcomer at the beginning of the academic year,  please contact the Welcome Unit to obtain your codice fiscale in advance.
