The Italian national postal service (Poste Italiane) has launched a new digital ID initiative to transform post offices in small towns across the country into digital service hubs. Called ‘Polis,’ the new service project officially launched on January 30 and will see the deployment of digital technologies across 7,000 Italian municipalities with less than 15,000 inhabitants.
Following the deployments, residents will be able to access several online services, such as requesting registry and civil status certificates, electronic ID cards, passports, tax codes (codice fiscale) for newborns, and social security and judicial certificates.
