Preliminary information
Before getting to the heart of this guide and explaining, in practice, how to register on the INPS site, let me give you some more information on how this can happen.
Initially, access to INPS services was guaranteed upon obtaining a personal PIN, which could be requested directly online, through call center or by physically going to a local INPS office.
However, starting from October 1, 2020, the INPS has the release of new PINs was interrupted to facilitate the transition to SPID credentials or towards more advanced electronic access methods, such as Electronic Identity Card (CIE) or the health card enabled National Service Card (TS-CNS).
The end of the transition phase from the PIN to the use of new digital services ends on 30 September 2021; starting from 1 October 2021, the PINs issued by INPS will stop working, unless you fall into one of the categories not authorized to obtain SPID identities (minors, non-EU citizens not on permission of a document recognized by SPID or persons subject to support administration, curatorship or protection). These user categories can continue to use the INPS PIN, if previously requested, but don't get new ones.
In light of the above, at the time of writing, it is not necessary to register on the INPS website: it is enough to be in possession of one of the authorized digital means, such as SPID, CIE o CNS, to be able to access your personal area within a few seconds. Below you will find everything explained in detail.
