What is SPID
SPID (Public System of Digital Identity) is an authentication system that allows access to online services offered by public administration and private companies, in a secure and fast way.
With SPID, it will no longer be necessary to remember multiple usernames and passwords to access different online services. Once you have obtained SPID, you can access all participating services using the same credentials.
In addition, SPID guarantees a high level of security thanks to the use of a multi-factor authentication system, which involves the use of a password and a one-time code sent via SMS or dedicated app.
SPID can be requested by Italian citizens over 18 years old or foreigners residing in Italy with a valid residence permit. For minors, however, the request must be made by parents or legal guardians.
- In summary:
- SPID is an authentication system for accessing online services
- Allows using the same credentials to access many different services
- Ensures a high level of security thanks to multi-factor authentication
- Can be requested by Italian citizens over 18 years old or foreigners residing in Italy with a valid residence permit
- For minors, the request must be made by parents or legal guardians
Requirements for requesting SPID for minors
To request SPID for a minor, it is necessary that the requester is the parent or legal guardian of the minor. In addition, there are some requirements that must be met:
- The minor must be at least 3 years old;
- The minor must be an Italian citizen or resident in Italy with a valid residence permit;
- The parent or legal guardian must have their own active and valid SPID.
In addition, if the minor is under 14 years old, the request for SPID must be made by the parent or legal guardian at one of the authorized post offices. If instead, the minor is between 14 and 18 years old, they can personally request SPID but only if they already have a valid identity document.
It is important to remember that the procedure for requesting SPID for minors involves entering sensitive data such as the tax code of the minor and parent/legal guardian. For this reason, it is essential to pay close attention when filling out online or paper forms and always verify the reliability of the websites used.
