The 2026 Italian citizenship reform β€” Law 74/2025, United Sections Ruling 24045/2026, Ruling 63/2026, the CJEU referral (Order 147/2026) and Decision 24184/2026 β€” does NOT change the rules for registering with the Italian National Health Service (SSN). SSN registration for foreign nationals continues to follow the 2012 State-Regions Agreement (Accordo Stato-Regioni, Rep. Atti n. 255/CSR) and the residence-permit rules described in this guide.


I experienced the new procedure for a client of mine at the national healthcare registration office (SSN) in Campobasso, Molise region.

I must admit it wasn’t easy because at the office nobody knew the exact, updated procedure or the new law as all the information passed to the local office is a short, inadequate and often inaccurate β€œcircolare” (newsletter) from circolare del ministero della salute.

My situation was registering a family of expats who are moving to Italy with an elective residence visa (and relevant permit).

Apparently, we were stuck in a deadly vicious circle: the Questura (Italian local police office) would not release the elective residence permit without the health registration (SSN), but the health office would not let the user register without showing the issued permit!

At least, that’s what they told me repeatedly when I called the director of the office for information.

I pointed out that this was a vicious circle for anyone applying for the elective residence visa (and permit), but they insisted that their answer was correct because it was based on the latest Circolare (a sort of official newsletter) from the Italian Ministry of Health, which explicitly requires the Permesso di soggiorno in order to be able to register with the SSN.

Another important point they tried to make was the formal registration as an Italian resident. In their opinion, this was a basic requirement.

I noted that my clients were Elective Residence Visa applicants, and as such they were not required, nor were they willing, to register as Italian residents with the Italian authorities, also because of the tax implications that such a choice would entail. Again, they insisted on their choice.

This was an impasse for my clients. Just these two requirements would potentially derail their entire Elective Residence Visa project.

I would later find out that the information given by the local health office was not correct.

After proper investigation of the Italian law (I am Italian lawyer, luckily πŸ˜ƒ) I found an old State regulation from 2012 which goes under the very friendly name: Accordo, ai sensi dell’articolo 4 del decreto legislativo 28 agosto

1997, n. 281, tra il Governo, le Regioni e le Province autonome di

Trento e Bolzano sul documento recante: «Indicazioni per la corretta

applicazione della normativa per l’assistenza sanitaria alla

popolazione straniera da parte delle Regioni e Province autonome».

(Rep. Atti n. 255/CSR). (13A00918.

This regulation is regarded , among the experts in the field, as the de facto, most comprehensive summary of legislation rules, issued by the State regarding registration of foreigners under the national Healthcare system (SSN). You will find the full text in Italian of the regulation on my website, if you are brave enough to read it πŸ˜‰ and a not-so-good automated translation in English done by Google (if you are even more brave).

So this regulation precisely lists (page 124 of the original document – you can read it on the link I provided below) the requirements for applying for registration of the National Healthcare system (SSN) and they are:

Copy of Permesso di Soggiorno or receipt of application in first

instance or renewal of the Pds

(Self-certification of reason for stay)

Identification document

Fiscal Code (Self-certification)

Residence (Self-certification) or statement of actual abode

Receipt of payment of SSN registration fee as indicated by Ministerial Decree, 8.10.1986 (after the new law it is a sum between € 2000 -2700 )

Thus, this document defeated the guidance provided by the regional health office, which could not reply anything but learn the correct requirements and process my application.

After clarifying the point, they were very kind and available.

As for the fee applied, we paid the relevant sum € 2000 through a F24 form at a local post office.

Payment can be done by credit card and cash.

The office issued a temporary registration to the SSN valid for three months, which would be renewed after producing copy of the permesso di soggiorno , once issued.

One important note regarding the address of actual abode.

You must make sure that it is registered together with your codice fiscale information, meaning that you filled out the form with your Italian address when you registered for codice fiscale.

That is especially important for those who obtained their codice fiscale through the Italian consulate, as they do no necessarily ask for an Italian address of abode to be linked with the codice fiscale application.

If the Italian address is not present in your codice fiscale record, the SSN office will find out immediately and will not process your application, so better to doublecheck in advance.

Executive Summary: Elective residence visa holders CAN register with the Italian National Health Service (SSN) β€” even before the permit is issued β€” under the 2012 State-Regions Agreement (Accordo Stato-Regioni, Rep. Atti n. 255/CSR), which governs healthcare for foreign nationals. Local offices may be unaware of the updated rules; this guide documents the correct procedure and the required documents (passport, visa, codice fiscale, residency formalities). The 2026 citizenship reform (Law 74/2025, SSUU No. 24045/2026, Ruling 63/2026, CJEU referral Order 147/2026) does NOT change SSN registration rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I register for SSN with an elective residence visa before my permit is issued?

Yes. Under the 2012 State-Regions Agreement, the first requirement is a “Copy of Permesso di Soggiorno or receipt of application in first instance or renewal of the Pds” β€” the receipt of the application is enough, so you do not have to wait for the permit to be issued. In the case described in this guide, the office issued a temporary registration valid for three months, renewed after producing the copy of the permesso di soggiorno once issued.

What documents do I need for SSN registration?

The requirements listed in the 2012 State-Regions Agreement are: a copy of the permesso di soggiorno or the receipt of application in first instance or renewal of the Pds; a self-certification of the reason for stay; an identification document; the fiscal code (self-certification); a residence self-certification or statement of actual abode; and the receipt of payment of the SSN registration fee as indicated by Ministerial Decree, 8.10.1986. Make sure your Italian address is linked with your codice fiscale record, or the SSN office will not process your application.

Is SSN registration compulsory or voluntary for elective residence visa holders?

Under the 2012 State-Regions Agreement, elective residence is listed among the reasons for stay that allow voluntary registration with the SSN, subject to payment of the relevant fee. In the practical procedure described in this guide, however, the Questura would not release the elective residence permit without the SSN registration β€” which is why knowing the correct procedure under the Agreement matters for every elective residence visa applicant.

How much does SSN registration cost?

As indicated in this guide, the SSN registration fee set by Ministerial Decree, 8.10.1986 is a sum between € 2000 and € 2700. In the case described, the fee paid was € 2000 through an F24 form at a local post office, and payment can be done by credit card and cash.
