How do I verify my identity with SPID?

What's SPID?

SPID (Sistema Pubblico di Identità Digitale) is Italy’s official public digital identity system. It enables individuals and businesses to securely access a wide range of public and private online services using a single set of login credentials. With over 34 million active accounts, SPID plays a key role in simplifying digital interactions across essential services like healthcare, tax filings, and more.

How does SPID work?

SPID operates as a centralized identity solution. Users register and verify their identity once with an authorized identity provider. Once verified, they can use their SPID credentials to log in across multiple platforms—no need to create or manage separate accounts. SPID offers three levels of security (Level 1 to Level 3), allowing service providers to choose the appropriate verification strength based on the sensitivity of the service.
