Registering With INPS and "Gestione Separata"

INPS is the primary social security institution in Italy, which all employees of public/private institutions and majority of self-employed workers, must be registered and insured. PhD students with scholarship (both italian and foreign) make no exception.

"Gestione Separata" is the specific sector with which all PhD students with scholarships must be registered. In this case, the student is responsible for 1/3 of the amount of INPS social security contributions to be paid.

• First of all, you need the Italian Tax Identification Number (Codice Fiscale)
• Go to the INPS office in Lucca (Piazza Martiri delle Libertà, 65), with "tax code" and ID card
• Fill out the form "Richiesta per Assegnazione PIN al cittadino"

Please note that if you already have a SPID digital identity, you can log in with your operator's credentials.

Once you have received your PIN, do one of the following:
