The national identity card number is the main recognition tool in Italy from an administrative and bureaucratic point of view. It is an alphanumeric code found on both the paper identity card (ID) and the electronic one (EID). The ID card number is the result of a set of data inherent to the owner that allows state bodies and public institutions to fully recognize the individual. For this reason, the ID card is a very important tool for both Italian and foreign citizens who decide to live in Italy.
