PEC stands for posta elettronica certificata which means “certified email”. A certified email guarantees legal certainty of the sender’s identity, of the date and time of sending and receiving the email, and of its content. You can use it to officially write and send documents to the Italian public administration, citizens, private companies etc.. With PEC you can send a certified email, that has legal value, from your house or office, which will be received instantaneously. Costs start from a few euros per year for a basic PEC account.
PEC: what is it, why should you need a PEC address, and how to get one
What is PEC?
PEC stands for posta elettronica certificata which means “certified email”. A certified email (PEC email) is just like a traditional email, but with the difference that it guarantees legal certainty of the sender’s identity, of the date and time of sending and receiving the email, and of its content. This communication system is currently used in Italy, Switzerland, and Hong Kong.
You can think of a PEC email as an electronic registered letter (lettera raccomandata). For this reason, a PEC email is a tool you can use to officially write and send documents to the Italian public administration, citizens, private companies etc..
From the point of view of graphics, a PEC account does not differ from a regular email account. In fact, the main difference is in the electronic address, so you will have yourname@pec.it or yourname@legalmail.it etc., instead of yourname@gmail.com or yourname@yahoo.com etc.. You can also insert the PEC address in your outlook, or download the messages into your Gmail account. So, writing and sending a PEC email is just like writing and sending a regular email (sender, recipient, subject, text, signature) but from a different address, which gives legal value to your email.
Why should you have a PEC address?
First of all, only businessmen, companies, and professionals (e.g.lawyers, notaries, etc.) must have a PEC address. Everyone else has no obligation to have one. If a subject obliged by law to have one, does not have a PEC address, the sender, usually, Agenzia delle Entrate or Regioni, etc., will still have to send formal letters or payment injunctions via registered letter.
However, there are many advantages to having a PEC address, especially if you are abroad.
As a matter of fact, you will not have to print out your letter, prepare an envelope, go to the post office and wait in a queue. Moreover, sending a PEC message is just like a regular email in the sense that it will not cost you anything.
In many cases, a registered letter (lettera raccomandata) takes a long time to get to its destination, or it gets lost, or is addressed to the wrong person/office, or to a general address and not to the specific office of your interest (for example in case you write to big companies or Ministries).
Therefore, especially if you live abroad, instead of sending a registered letter, with PEC you can send a certified email, that has legal value, from your house or office, which will be received instantaneously. This means that, for example, you can officially communicate with an Italian public administration even if you are abroad.
Last but not least, you will get faster answers from the recipients, (in many cases Italian public administration have an obligation to answer within thirty days from when they receive your message). Therefore, considering that the recipient receives your PEC email instantaneously, this means that it has thirty days to answer your email from when you send it and not from the day your registered letter is received (which can be 10/15/20 etc. days after you send it).
What can you do with a PEC address?
There are many things that a PEC address owner can do, such as:
- send a message that has the equivalent legal value of a registered letter;
- formally request information or documents from an Italian public administration;
- protect the copyright of a text (you send a PEC to your own address);
- send a letter to your debtor;
- formally state a fact that will have legal value;
- respond to a call for bids;
- and much more.
What do you need to do to have a PEC address?
In order to obtain a PEC address, you will only need to visit the provider’s website and follow the instructions to open a PEC account. Usually, you will need to insert your personal information, then upload a copy of your identity document, and of your Italian tax code (not always). You will then need to choose an address (e.g. yourname@pec.it) and a password, just like any other email account. In addition to traditional access through the website of the provider, generally, you can log into your account and, thus, send and receive PEC emails through an app.
If you need assistance with the opening of an Italian PEC account, please send an email to assistance@vademecumitalia.com or fill in the Contact Us form to receive a price quotation
How much does it cost to open a PEC account?
There are several companies that offer PEC accounts. Usually, they all ask for a monthly/annual subscription. Costs start from a few euros per year (you can have a PEC address for 5 euros + VAT) for a basic PEC account, which generally includes a limited space (for example 1 GB) and antivirus. Obviously, the more services you want (more space, storage, etc.), the more the cost will be (for example 25/40/60 euros etc.).
Just to list a few, the most used ones are the following: LegalMail, ArubaPEC, Postecert, Register.it, Libero.
What if you are not able to write in Italian?
If you are able to write in Italian, a PEC address can be your best solution whenever you need to send a registered letter to an Italian Company, public administration, bank, etc. or even a private citizen (see above).
In some cases, depending on the recipient, you could even write your PEC message in English, just like you would do with a registered letter (but you have to keep in mind that the average Italian citizen/company/public administration is not very familiar with English).
Having said the above, should you want to send a PEC message in Italian even though you do not speak Italian, please send an email to assistance@vademecumitalia.com or fill in the Contact Us form, and we will send you a price quotation, which will vary depending on the message you will need to send.
How is it possible that a PEC message has the same legal value as a registered letter?
As said above, from a legal point of view, a PEC message is very different from a regular email message. In fact, an email sent from a PEC address proves the sender’s identity, the date and time of sending and receiving the message, and its content.
This is how it works. You log in to your PEC account (username and password), you write the text of your message, and you send it to the recipient. After you send it, you will receive two (PEC) emails from your provider:
- the first one is an acceptance receipt (ricevuta di accettazione) confirming that your message has been accepted by the system and forwarded to the recipient.
- The second one is a delivery receipt, confirming that on the day X, at the hour Y and minutes Z, your message was delivered to the recipient’s address.
After the sender receives the second email, the message is considered regularly sent to the address of delivery and acknowledged by the recipient, regardless of the fact that he/she actually opened the message. This process makes a PEC message similar to a registered letter.
Please consider that if you send a PEC message from your PEC address to an ordinary email address (for example, @gmail.com or @yahoo.com etc.), your email will still be received by the recipient, but it will not have the legal value of a pec message/registered letter. Therefore, in order for your message to have legal value as explained above, you will need to send a PEC message from your PEC address to another PEC address.
Tips
There are official databases that will allow you to verify if your recipient has an official PEC address where you can send your PEC message (for example INI-PEC).
It is advisable to type the content of your message in the “body” of the PEC message, and not only as an attachment. So, if, for example, you want to send a letter that you have signed as an attachment to your PEC message, you could also copy and paste its content in the “body” of the email, so that you are sure that the recipient will read your message which makes it certain that it comes from you (because the PEC address legally proves the sender’s identity). As a matter of fact, even though it is possible to demonstrate which files were attached to your email, the recipient could, in theory, state that, for example, the attachment was empty or the file was corrupted or unreadable.

I had no idea of the PEC account system and was struggling to pay my water bills. David has made this process so simple and transparent, giving me clear instructions and guidance. I am delighted that i can now manage my own water bills using this system, it is so more secure and reliable.
Many thanks to #David for his considerate and informed advise…and his patience.
Hi Nick,
Thank you for your nice comment.
I’m happy to read that your pec address makes it easier for you to pay your bills. A pec address is very useful indeed.
Please let me know if there is anything else that I can do for you.
Regards,
David
As a non-resident seeking dual citizenship, I had not heard of a PEC account or why I would need one. David clearly explained the important reasons why and then set me up with a new PEC email address. The process was quick, easy, and professional. I intend to use David’s services for all things Italian as I become an Italian citizen. It is very comforting to know that I have David and his expertise to help me navigate Italian government processes and other matters of Italian citizenship with which I have no familiarity. We’ve all heard of the difficulties and delays in working with the Italian authorities, and its great to have David on my side helping me with such matters. Thanks, David!
Dear John,
Thank you for your very nice comment.
It only took a few days to open your pec account.
Please let me know if there is anything else that I can do for you.
I look forward to hearing from you.
David.
For non-resident requiring PEC email account I found David help and assistance invaluable.

Thank’s a lot David I can now continue with my neccessary actions where I need PEC email account.
Could we send to a PEC Email using any other email Provider
abc.gmail.com to abc.pec.it -> Could we do that ?
Also could we use a third party provider like mailchimp or mailgun to send such emails to PEC emails
Dear Abhishek,
In order for your message to have legal value, you will need to send a PEC message from your Italian PEC address to another Italian PEC address (Italian public administration, citizens, private companies etc.), so not from a gmail account for example.
Can you set this up with a Business Microsoft 365 account? And if so, how do you do this?

Dear Rolf,
Thank you for your kind comment.
Please let me know if there is anything else that I can do for you (for example if you need assistance with the digital signature).

Hi. How many characters could a PEC address have ? We are getting ready to store the PEC address in our systems if required and want to know the max number of characters it could be . Is there a limit ?
I am not sure I understood your question and case (number of characters? store a pec address in a system?).
A pec address generally reflects the name of the person or of the company that “owns” it. However, if you have a technical question you should ask your provider to be sure that you get the exact answer you need.
Thank you

Thank you, Gail.
Happy holidays!
I am wondering if I can send an e-mail from my regular gmail account to a PEC e-mail. I know it will not be equivalent to a registered letter, but is it going to be at least delivered? possibly read? Or only PEC e-mail can write to PEC e-mail? Thanks a lot.
Luiz,
It depends on the recipient. It is not 100% guaranteed that the recipient will actually receive it because he/she could activate an option that prevents the system from receiving ordinary emails.
Regards.
Thank you.

Hi David,
Very useful information here re PEC, thank you so much!
Just subscribed to your Newsletter.
Can you please tell me what a Codice Destinatario is please and it’s significance?
Regards,
Stew.
Dear Stewart,
From January 1, 2019, invoices will have to be issued in electronic format (e-invoices), except in certain specific cases. The “codice destinatario” or “codice univoco” is a seven-digit alphanumeric code that is needed for receiving and sending electronic invoices through the Sistema di Interscambio dell’Agenzia delle Entrate (Inland Revenue’s Interchange System). In order to obtain the codice univoco, the interested party must register with the Revenue Agency or purchase the services offered by an intermediary.

D.

Story case : I have to set-up an answer for a public tender call in Italy. The procedure required to get a PEC.it activated mail address. I struggled during 3 weeks with ARUBA.IT. I founded the VADEMECUM assistance site.

To conclude I strongly advice to use VADEMECUM for closing PEC.it process.
I have required also other questions and David replied me gently.

Hi David, I am a US citizen but have dual citizenship in Italy because both of my parents are Italian. I have two children and I completed all the paperwork and the Italian Consulate have confirmed that my children are now dual citizens as well. My wife wants to be a dual citizen as well through marriage. I have already sent in the marriage certificate so I can be recorded in my comune and the Italian Consulate has confirmed that as well. I am in the process of helping my wife complete the initial application online and it requires a PEC. I am interested in knowing the cost to obtain one and have some further questions about your fees. I would appreciate if you could contact me.
Best,

All I can say is David is a reliable bet, if you are seeking to have a PEC account, not only very reliable but his candid and clear guide is what makes him incredible. I highly recommend him if you are seeking to have a PEC account services.
As an American, I needed a PEC to correspond with a local Italian government regarding possible future business operations. David was extremely professional in the assistance he provided. There were some technical problems with my bank here in the US and David was cooperative and patient as these issues were resolved. He responded promptly and the PEC was set up within 24 hours of when things were resolved on my end.
In anticipation of relocating to Italy, I needed a PEC to correspond with the Italian government. David was very reliable, patient, and professional in his correspondence and assistance in this matter. Once everything was submitted, my PEC was set up within 24 hours of when things were resolved on my end. I highly recommend his services!
David has been extremely helpful in organising a PEC email address for me. He explained it all to me very clearly and provided an extremely efficient and fast service. I had no idea how to organise this for myself and so his help has been invaluable. Thank you David.

Thank you.

I will forward it to the new email address you provided.
I needed a PEC account ASAP. I contacted David and he kindly sent me all the information I needed to understand how the PEC account works.
I sent the information he needed to open my account and after only 7 hours the account was active and ready to use.
I highly recommend David and his company.
Thanks David for everything, keep the good work.

We regularly need to correspondence with local towns and governments throughout Italy and have been seeking a way to open a PEC account for a long time. We found this page and contacted David and he was able to get us set up very quickly. We are very excited and grateful for his assistance.

Hello David,
I am an EU-citizen and I need a PEC email address.
I already have a codice fiscale, and the only thing that’s missing is a telephone number.
I was wondering if there is any way I can get a PEC without an Italian telephone number please?
Thank you very much!
I’m so grateful for David’s attentive and quick advice and service regarding setting up my pec account, including his very detail instructions how to use it, so I can attempt to manage utility invoices from overseas. I’ve been overwhelmed with a recent property purchase during covid, and I’m reassured with David’s support. Thank you!
Hallo David,we are company from Nederland and need Italian PEC number,how to get it can you help us ?

HI David, just a simple question about registering a PEC address. I read Italian and I have codice fiscale so I figured I could just open one from The Netherlands (will move to Italy shortly). But Poste Italiane will not send me SMS code to my Dutch phone number (+31, 0031, tried it all). I tried Legalmail after that and it also will not recognize my Dutch phone number. Is an Italian number necessary for requesting a PEC?
Thanks in advance!
I do not use those providers so I do not know what they ask for in order to open a pec account.
I will send you an email as soon as possible to let you know what I can do for you.
Hi David:
I am a Chinese living in France. I need a pec email address to submit my application for a postdoc in Italy. Because my deadline is very soon 31st, Oct, 2020, CET 23:59, I am woundering, with you help, it is possible to get a pec email address before this deadline?
Let me know ASAP. Many thanks for your help in advance.
Best,

I am writing to say thanks to David for all his efficient and promptly help on creating PEC account for our company which is registered in UK.
We were in a final stage of tendering process for a project in Italy and figured out almost in the last minute that we can only send over our tendering documents to the authority body via a PEC email address which we never came cross before.
Luckly we found this website and left the message without much expectation from a quick response, but David and his team replied to me just 10 mins after I submitted the SOS message, and helped out to register the account for us and saved our whole efforts spent on the tendering, which is amazing!
Thanks again David and your team, you are super star!
HI Davide,
I have a question. I have written already to Public office which I needed to using PEC email. How long will it take to get response from their side?
It has been more than 8 days that I have written to Questura (Public office in my case).
Kind Regards,
Muhammad,
I am sorry but I have no idea. It depends on the office.

Buongiorno!
After trying my own hand at getting a PEC email, it seemed an impossible task. Fortunately I stumbled across this page, and of course David, who for a reasonable fee assisted me in quickly setting up a PEC email. Fast and polite!
Not only this, but in our communications he found out that my planned use of the email – to ask for some documents – would have been unsuccessful as I was asking for the wrong ones!
Grazie mille,
Chris
I was so happy to come across David and this website! When completing my Italian Citizenship application, I learned a PEC was required and I was STUCK on figuring out how to get my hands on one. David set me up with one within hours. He responded quickly, and the process was so simple. I highly recommend him. Very happy.
Thankyou David for your great help and service you provided helping me obtain a PEC email,I did not have a clue where to begin to obtain the PEC email and you made it so easy for me,I would highly recommend David and will be using his services in future

Hi David
I was born in the UK with Italian parents and I have dual nationality. I am trying to renew my passport via Italian consulate in Machester, the last one expired a long time ago. At that time I was registered with AIRE Marano di Napoli. They are now saying I am no longer registered there so I need to ask them for a re-registration. As far as I can see from their website https://www.comune.marano.na.it/web/ I can only communicate with them using PEC. I don’t really want to have to set up a PEC account but it seems that I may have to.
Thank you for your kind help.
Giulio

Hi David, great info. Could you please send me the details that recommend the easiest and quickest PEC email set up. Many thanks.
Hi Mark,
Did you receive our email?
Living in the UK, I needed a PEC account, and David has been a extremely helpful.
I had tried before to register myself directly with Italian PEC providers, but couldn’t make it work, as they couldn’t handle foreign addresses and phone numbers, and one support line even told me it just wasn’t possible.
Instead, David kindly handled the process for me and next day he provided me with the account, ready for me to use. PEC is essential for many things, so having this setup is great.
How can I get a PEC? There is any free service? I just need to send only one email.
Martin,

Hello. i would like to know, can pec email be used to send Nulla Osta related appointment email with documents to italian embassy in country other then italy?
The pec has its legal value as of a registered mail (raccomandata) only if sent from a pec address to a pec address. If you are sending your pec to an Italian embassy you can use it.

In my desperate need to acquire an official registered email account (PEC) I came across Vademecum Italia on the internet. Through it I gained an clear education of the role of PEC in dealing with registered email protocol in Italy. Most importantly, subsequent correspondence with and most timely assistance from its founder, David Monterossi, resulted in my acquiring an official PEC address in a couple of days. In addition, Dave also provided useful guidance on protocol procedures. I was fortunate to have found David and the excellent and timely service he provided. Without question, I highly recommend David and the service he provides through Vademecum Italia.
Great.
Thank you

Many thanks to David for quickly and painlessly helping me establish a PEC for my business. The service was excellent, the fee reasonable and I was so grateful I could resolve this while outside of Italy. I will use David in the future for legal support in Italy. Like many, I love Italy in every way except when dealing with the bureaucracy which is and has always been an ordeal to navigate. Having someone like David to assist is a great relief.
Thank you again

Dear Sabina,

Hi David,
I’m deep into Dual Citizenship and realized how beneficial PEC would be, especially after the loss of time when I tried to use normal email. David was very helpful in making it easy to obtain PEC, which I found was difficult to do on my own.
Dave was quick responding and exceedingly helpful. I recommend Dave to anyone who is or would be having a lot of time wasted without PEC and someone who gives great help.

Hi David,
It is possible to confirm if an PEC email address is legitimate?
For example if a company tells me their email is abc@pec.com
How can I be sure the address is valid without using another PEC email.
Hi Hector,
Yes, of course. There are public registers like IniPec https://www.inipec.gov.it/
It was a pleasure to work with David! He helped me open a Pec account in just a couple of days, always in touch, answering every question and explaining every point. This is extremely important, especially when you located and communicating remotely. Thank you once again ! I will definitely recommend the Vademecum Law Firm and will use your service again in the future.
