Codice FiscaleHi, We have a holiday

I can't see any problem having your CF, but many people get a sim with just their passport, there are specific sims for visitors if needed. Check for any running event if you need a med cert, many in Italy you do.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately where we live to top up our internet we have to show our CF. Also unless you are part of a running club you need to have a CF to enter the Milan Marathon.

If they want a proper CF then they will need to go to the local tax office (Agenzia dell?entrate) and request one using the form which you can download from the AdE site. They will need to take their passport and a photocopy of it. If they buy a SIM then most shops will generate a CF for them, but it will not be the official stamped version and there is a slight possibility that it will be the CF of someone else with the same name, birthday and country of origin. It takes 10 minutes to get at the AdE as long as there is no queue.

Thanks modicasa for your reply. I have looked at the website and cant seem to find the form to download. I get a great explantion of what to do but not the form. Do you have the link for the form? It also says that I can apply at a Consular, which is what we did in the US but again no link to a form.

Thank you Ugo, very kind

A fiscal code is not a problem. Only if for example you have not paid some due taxes in Italy, you will receive a notification at the address mention when requireing your fiscal code, and the It. Government will easely find you.The FC is basically necessery for the Italian Goverment to be aware of your fiscal situation and to have an address where they can notify you something.Because I understood that your boys do not have any fiscal connection in Italy (whilst you do as you have bought a house here and consequently you have to pay some taxes), I do not see creating a FC for them as a problem, however they have to give to the Revenue Office a justified reason why they need a fiscal code.

Your sons will probably need to either be a member of an international club or pur have the runcard. In addition they will need either a sports physical by an Italian physician or your physician depending on the level of Milan marathon. I've run Rome marathon and a dozen other half marathons and all require these things.

Thanks for the help unfortunately the boys although they have run few marathons are not members of a running club in the UK. What do you mean by 'have a runcard'?
