I is the free Italian application, financed by the European Union and managed by PagoPA, designed to simplify and speed up the interconnection of citizens with Public and Local Bodies, allowing the Public Administration to send communications to individual citizens only via the Tax Code. Available for Android and Apple iOS mobile devices, the app allows you to interact with public services, both local and national, directly from your smartphone. It allows you to manage payments for services or taxes but also to receive notifications from the Public Administration.
During 2024 IO will integrate IT-Wallet, a sort of “digital wallet” to access PA services via digital documents. The. will also be available in the app National Youth Cardwhich will allow citizens aged between 18 and 35 years to access cultural, sporting and well-being goods and services.
