- What is omocodia (homocode) in the Italian Codice Fiscale?
- Omocodia occurs when two or more different people generate the same fiscal code using the standard algorithm (same surname/name initials, same birth date/place and sex). There are approximately 5,000 new homocode cases per year in Italy. The Revenue Agency resolves each collision by assigning a homocode variant.
- How does the Revenue Agency resolve omocodia?
- The Agency progressively replaces digits in the CF with equivalent letters, starting from the rightmost numeric position toward the beginning. The numeric positions are (right to left): 15, 14, 13, 11, 10, 8, 7. The substitution table is: 0→L, 1→M, 2→N, 3→P, 4→Q, 5→R, 6→S, 7→T, 8→U, 9→V.
- How many homocode variants exist for a Codice Fiscale?
- There are 7 progressive substitution levels (one for each numeric position in the CF), so a maximum of 7 homocode variants. The calculator generates all of them from the base CF. In theory 128 combinations are possible, but the Agency always proceeds in progressive order.
- Does the check digit change with omocodia?
- Yes. Each homocode variant has a different check digit, recalculated on the modified first 15 characters. The calculator regenerates the check digit for each of the 7 variants.
- How can I tell if my Codice Fiscale has omocodia?
- A homocode CF contains letters where digits normally appear (positions 7-8, 10-11, 13-15). For example, if position 15 has 'M' instead of '1', it's a level-1 homocode. The Verify tab of the calculator automatically detects and reports homocode CFs.
