What is a CIN?

The CIN (National Identification Code) is a unique code required for all non-hotel accommodations in Italy, including holiday rentals. The Ministry of Tourism introduced it under Decreto Anticipi No. 145/2023 to promote fairness and transparency in Italy's short-term rental market.

When do I need a CIN?

The law took effect on November 2, 2024. All rental properties should have obtained their CIN by January 1, 2025.

How do I get and use my CIN?

Apply for your CIN through the Ministry of Tourism's online platform, Banca Dati Strutture Ricettive (BDSR). Once you receive it, you must:

• Display the CIN outside your property.
• Include the CIN in all your rental listings, both online and offline.

Are there safety requirements along with the CIN?

Yes. All tourist rentals must have combustible gas and carbon monoxide detectors installed, as well as fire extinguishers on site. Professional rentals, meaning those managed as a business, must also meet additional safety installation requirements.
