Italian citizens

How to register

To access to services, you have to apply to the National Health Service (SSN). To do that, two steps are to be followed: 1- Register at the Tax Registry office (Anagrafe tributaria) of the Italian Revenue Agency and ask for a fiscal code; 2- Register at the Health Registry office (Anagrafe sanitaria) in the Local Health Authority (ASL) of your municipality of residence. The office functionary will ask you to choose a general practitioner, i.e., a trusted doctor for you and your family. The Ministry of Economy will send a Health Insurance Card with your fiscal code number to your home address. The Health Insurance Card is also called Regional Card of Services (CRS) or TEAMS (European Health Insurance Card). When you get your card, you are properly registered on the SSN. The European Health Insurance Card is free of charge.

How to register your child

To register a newborn on the SSN you have to: 1- Declare their birth to the Civil Registry and Marital Status office (Anagrafe e Stato civile) of your municipality of residence; 2- Register them at the Tax Registry office (Anagrafe tributaria) of the Italian Revenue Agency (the Town Hall will do the procedure). That done, the Ministry of Economy will send the European Health Insurance Card with your child’s fiscal code to your home address. This first card will be valid for one year. Parents will then be able to register their newborn on the Health Registry (Anagrafe sanitaria) of the Local Health Authority (ASL) of their municipality of residence and choose a paediatrician. They will then receive the second European Health Insurance Card, which will be valid for six years.

ATTENTION

The Local Health Authorities (ASL) are divided in Districts and each District has its own Office of Health Service. You should go to the nearest one.
