SPID is the access system that allows you to use online services of Public Administration and accredited private providers with a single digital identity. If you already have a digital identity, sign in with your identity provider's credentials. If you do not yet have a digital identity, request it from one of the providers.
The National Services Card or CNS is an electronic card or USB token that contains a personal authentication digital certificate, useful for accessing online Public Administration services. [more information...]
Prerequisites
Have an active CNS;
Access from a workstation that can read the CNS (i.e., equipped with a dedicated reader in the case of an electronic card);
Have installed the CNS drivers, provided by the issuing Administration.
To verify whether the prerequisites are met, run the Device verification.
After verifying the prerequisites, perform the following operations
Insert the CNS into the reader or USB port;
Press the Sign in with CNS button; you will be shown all personal identification certificates present on the computer and in the CNS;
Select the authentication certificate contained in the CNS and press OK. The CNS certificate contains your tax code among the identification elements;
Enter the CNS PIN code, provided by the issuing Administration; it is usually a code of 5-8 digits. The PIN prevents the device from being used by unauthorized persons.
Sign in with CIE is the identification scheme that enables access to digital services provided online by public bodies and public administrations, through the use of the Electronic Identity Card (CIE), as provided by Art. 64 of the Digital Administration Code. Sign in with CIE allows citizens who have a CIE to authenticate to enabled online services of entities and public administrations that allow its use. [more information...]
Access to online services with CIE credentials (levels 1 and 2) does not require reading the card or having particular technologies (as for level 3 access); it will be sufficient to use a pair of credentials (username and password) previously created or, if required by the service, a second authentication factor (temporary OTP code, QR code scan with the Cie-ID app).
Access to online services with level 3 authentication is allowed in different ways and requires prior system configuration as described in the following points:
Desktop – access is via a computer connected to a contactless smart card reader for reading the CIE. To enable the CIE to work on your computer, you must first install the CIE Software;
Mobile – the user accesses using a smartphone with NFC interface and the CieID app, with which they read the CIE;
Desktop with smartphone – access to the service takes place from a computer. To read the CIE, instead of a contactless smart card reader the user uses their smartphone with NFC interface and the CieID app.
To sign in, press the Sign in with CIE button; you will be redirected to the Ministry of the Interior website where you will authenticate with your CIE. Once completed, you will be automatically redirected to the requested service.
