How to get the SPID
The first essential step is to get hold of adigital identity, which will allow you to quickly access various services of the PA, including those provided by the Revenue Agency: let's see, therefore, how to get the SPID.
If you don't know, the acronym SPID represents the acronym of Public System of Digital Identity and it is basically credentials (i.e. a combination of username and password) associated with your person, which allow you to authenticate yourself on the different public service platforms (and not only).
In this respect it is also important to know that SPID authentication can take place based on three levels of security: the first level it provides, in fact, only access through the simple use of username and password; the second level consists, in addition to the previous modality, in sending or generating a OTP (One Time Password, i.e. a code that can only be used once), while the third level of security it is based on electronic certificates that are encrypted by special devices, such as readers of smart card or those for the validation of the digital signature.
I requirements to proceed with the request for activation of the SPID are very simple.
- Be older.
- Be in possession of a valid identity document (identity card, driving license, passport, residence permit if you do not have cittàn citizenship, together with a health card with tax code)
- Dispose of cellphone number.
- Have a valid email address.
Once you have ascertained that you meet the aforementioned requirements, you will therefore have to contact one of the Identity Provider enabled, who will take care of certify your identity. Each manager offers different recognition methods: you choose, based on your needs and possibilities, the one you consider most suitable.
The standard request procedure involves accessing the website of the chosen operator (below you will find the complete list and, by clicking on the name, you can already connect to the relative web page), and carry out the preliminary registration.

Many providers are adapting to this functionality, called CIE 3.0, which is carried out by scanning the document with the smartphone, via NFC (Near Field Communication) using the apps developed by the institutions themselves, which can be downloaded from the main app stores.
Other methods provided are that of go to the provider's offices in person or to contact a operator remote identity manager with a webcam. In some cases you are asked to send a selfie audio-video and to proceed with the payment of a symbolic sum by bank transfer as a further means of verifying identity.
