In Italy, three counters decide how fast you settle: the tax office, the Comune and the local health authority. Hello Expat puts them in order, with the official source for each step.

03The paperwork
Three counters, and each one wants a paper from another
On arrival you deal with the Agenzia delle Entrate for your tax code, the Comune for your residence and the ASL for your doctor. The ASL asks for the other two, so the order you go in matters.
- Codice fiscale
- Form AA4/8
- Iscrizione anagrafica
- ANPR
- Tessera sanitaria
- Medico di base
- CIE
- SPID
- Modello 730
04How Hello Expat helps
Your first three steps in Italy, in order
Your steps depend on where you come from and who you move with. Moovy, your personal assistant, answers from official sources and tells you when it is not sure.
Step 1
Get your codice fiscale
Book an appointment at any Agenzia delle Entrate office, or at the Italian consulate before you leave. You go in person with your ID and fill in form AA4/8. The card arrives by post.

Step 2
Register your residence at the Comune
If you stay more than three months, you register at the Comune where you live: online and free on the ANPR for EU citizens, or at the registry office. Bring proof of work, or of enough resources and health insurance.

Step 3
Enrol with the ASL and choose your doctor
With your codice fiscale and your registration, you enrol with the ASL, choose a family doctor (medico di base) and receive your tessera sanitaria by post. Until then, your European Health Insurance Card covers necessary care.

A question from a new arrival in Milan
Moovy
AI assistantYou
Can I get SPID with my French ID card?
Not yet. SPID asks for a valid Italian ID document, and your French card doesn't count. First register your residence at the Comune, then ask for your CIE, the Italian electronic ID card. It costs €16.79 plus fixed fees and arrives within six working days. With the CIE you can log in to most services directly, or use it to activate SPID. Tell me where you're living and I'll list the documents for the Comune.
Moovy is an artificial intelligence: it can make mistakes. Open the source before you decide.

My journey, in the right order
Your steps one after the other, each with its official source. The next one is always at the top.
Reminders and My schedule
Add an appointment: we email you seven days before, then the day before. My schedule shows it all, month by month.
A vault for your papers
Your documents are encrypted before they are stored, with a different key for each document, kept apart from our servers. Nobody on the team has a tool to open them. Moovy reads each document you add to file it, and every reading appears in your log. You can delete everything whenever you like.
When Moovy reads a document, the text is processed by our AI provider, in the United States.
Tell us once
A short questionnaire after sign-up fills in My situation for you. Moovy uses it from your first message.
My family, dog and cat included
Add your partner, children, parents, and your dog or cat. Moovy adapts its advice: school, health insurance, and for pets the microchip, rabies vaccine and pet passport.
Emails and letters, drafted for you
Your landlord only speaks Greek? Moovy drafts the email in Greek, with a translation. You check it, and you send it yourself.
Official forms explained in Portugal, Spain, Italy and France, with the link to the official form. You fill it in and hand it in yourself.
