Overview

  • Assocertificatori, AgID and the Department for Digital Transformation agreed to renew the SPID management convention for five years.
  • The renewal averts a service halt and keeps Italy’s primary digital identity system available to tens of millions of users.
  • Some providers, including Aruba, InfoCert and Register.it, now charge annual fees, while Poste Italiane remains free for now.
  • The government confirmed financial support for operators to make the system more sustainable and limit costs passed to users.
  • The agreement creates a permanent security working group and plans tools for citizens to check active SPIDs, while charting a path toward CIE and the EU Digital Identity Wallet under eIDAS 2.0.
