## Overview

    **REA** (Repertorio Economico Amministrativo)

    Provincial trade registers maintained by Italian Chambers of Commerce (CCIA)
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Italian company data is sourced from the Repertorio Economico Amministrativo (REA), the provincial business register. Each Italian province has its own Chamber of Commerce (Camera di Commercio - CCIA) that maintains a register of companies within its jurisdiction. The **REA number** (province code plus registration number) is the unique primary identifier for API requests; the Codice Fiscale (national tax code) is not unique per company and must not be used for profile or filing orders.

## Company Identifiers

| Identifier                  | Type Code   | Format                | Example         | Notes                                                                                                        |
| --------------------------- | ----------- | --------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| REA (Trade Register Number) | IT\_REA\_CD | 2 letters + digits    | `NA0091712`     | Primary identifier. Province code (e.g. NA = Naples) followed by unique registration number within that CCIA |
| VAT Number                  | IT\_VAT\_CD | IT + 11 digits        | `IT12345678912` | European VAT identifier                                                                                      |
| Codice Fiscale (Tax Code)   | IT\_TAX\_CD | 11 digits (companies) | `12345678901`   | National tax identification; not unique per company                                                          |

<Warning>
  **Use REA for all profile and filing requests.** The Codice Fiscale is not unique and may be shared by related companies. Lite and Enhanced profile orders using Codice Fiscale may fail; filing search is not supported with Codice Fiscale. Always use the REA identifier from the search response.
</Warning>

## Search Capabilities

| Search Method            | Supported | Notes                                                                   |
| ------------------------ | --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Search by company name   | Yes       |                                                                         |
| Search by REA number     | Yes       | Use the full REA (e.g. `MI123456`)                                      |
| Search by Codice Fiscale | Yes       | May return multiple entities; use REA from results for subsequent calls |

## Data Availability

## Implementation Notes

<Info>
  **Use search response data for API calls.** Use the company identifier (REA) from the search response for all Lite Profile, Enhanced Profile, and Filings Search requests. Include the registration authority code (province code) as the `RegAuth` query parameter where supported; it is optional for Italy but recommended.
</Info>

### Identifier handling

* The primary company identifier in API responses is the **REA number** (e.g. `MI123456`).
* For secondary identifiers (Codice Fiscale, VAT), use the `otherIdentifiers` array in Lite and Enhanced profile responses, with type codes `IT_TAX_CD` and `IT_VAT_CD`.
* Systems that store Italian company identifiers should store and use REA. Do not rely on Codice Fiscale for lookups or ordering.

### Province code reference

REA numbers begin with a two-letter province code. Each province has its own Chamber of Commerce (CCIA). Below is the reference for province codes used in the REA format.
