The recognition procedure is a very important phase of the SPID credential activation process: it is the moment in which the provider recognizes the user and guarantees his identity. Without recognition, it is not possible to activate a SPID identity

Recognition can take place in three ways:

- Via webcam through a recorded video call in which the applicant must show the identity documents previously entered to validate the SPID request.

- By means of a valid Digital Signature certificate and a smart card reader.

- Through National Service Card (CNS) activated with a smart card reader connected to the computer.

By choosing recognition via webcam you can activate your SPID credentials conveniently online with an operator, avoiding the purchase and configuration of a smart card reader or the purchase of a digital signature certificate.

Recognition via webcam, in fact, only requires the use of tools available to everyone: a device with a webcam, an active email address and personal identification documents such as an identity card, health card and tax code.

The mobile number is required as it will be used to send you an OTP code (temporary password) which you will need to use during the identification procedure.

SPID is the Public Digital Identity System that allows you to access all the services of the Public Administration in a simple and secure way and with a single pair of credentials (username and password).

SpidItalia is the name of the digital identity provided by the Identity provider Register.it.

Spid Power is a service offered by Register.it which includes the SPID digital identity for private use provided by Register.it, the simplified activation of the SPID credentials through recognition via webcam, access to reserved area from which you can receive dedicated assistance via WhatsApp on the use of SPID and access exclusive content on the different uses of the Public Digital Identity System.
