Apply for PEC for foreigners
The PEC (Posta Elettronica Certificata) is Italy’s certified, legally-binding email system.
A PEC address has the same legal value as a registered letter with return receipt (raccomandata A/R), and is mandatory for companies, professionals, and individuals who need to interact with Italian authorities, courts, and public institutions.
Our legal team supports foreign founders, expats, and non-resident professionals in obtaining a PEC address remotely, without language barriers or administrative delays. We work directly with accredited PEC providers and ensure your registration is compliant with Italian regulations, including the requirements introduced for foreign entities.
By obtaining a PEC address, you gain official access to Italy’s certified communication infrastructure, allowing you to send and receive legally valid documents, notifications, invoices, and compliance-related correspondence.
