5-Step Retrieval Walkthrough

Follow these steps on the live official portal to download your statement.

5 Steps
1

Access the Official INPS Portal

Open inps.it and click on 'Accedi' in the upper navigation bar. Ensure the URL is the authentic government domain.

2

Authenticate with Digital Identity

Choose your digital credential: SPID (using your provider credentials and OTP/App approval) or CIE (placing your physical CIE card on your smartphone's NFC sensor via the CieID app).

3

Open the Fascicolo Previdenziale del Cittadino

In the search bar, type 'Fascicolo Previdenziale del Cittadino'. Once inside, navigate to 'Posizione Assicurativa' > 'Estratto Conto'.

4

Verify Contribution Periods and Funds

Inspect your contributions, listed in weeks (52 weeks = 1 full qualifying year). Check separate sections if you were registered under Gestione Separata (freelancers/collaborators) or other special pension funds.

Download and Save the Official PDF

Click the 'Stampa / Salva in PDF' button. Store the PDF safely; it contains your exact registered contribution weeks required for European totalization.

How to Get Your Italian Statement from Abroad (Without SPID / Italian Phone)

Expats living abroad frequently get blocked because the portal demands a domestic tax code, local SMS number, or domestic digital identity. Here are the validated, legal workarounds:

**SPID from Abroad**: Several identity providers (e.g. SielteID, Namirial, PosteID) support online webcam identification for Italians and foreign nationals living abroad using international passports and non-Italian mobile numbers.
**CIE with NFC**: If you renewed your Italian identity card at a foreign consulate, use the official CieID mobile app with the PIN received from the consulate to log in without needing SPID.
**Patronato Assistance (100% Free)**: Italian trade-union patronati (such as INCA CGIL, ITAL UIL, ACLI) operate physical offices across Europe, the Americas, and Australia. They can officially query your INPS record on your behalf with a simple signed mandate (*delega*).
**INPS International Helpline**: Call the INPS International Contact Center at +39 06 164164 (charges vary by carrier, multilingual service available).

How This Feeds into Your EU Cross-Border Pension

Under EU Regulation 883/2004, every Italian contribution week is recognized across the EU/EEA and Switzerland. If you have fewer than the statutory 20-year minimum required for an autonomous Italian old-age pension, your years in other European countries are totalized to unlock your Italian pro-rata pension.

🔍 Common Gaps to Check: Short agency contracts (lavoro interinale), seasonal work, and university degree years are frequently missing. You can file a formal correction request (*Segnalazione Contributiva*) directly within MyINPS before claiming.
