What is the CIN?

The CIN (National Identification Code) is a registration code that all non-hotel accommodation providers in Italy must obtain, including holiday rentals. It was introduced under Decreto Anticipi No. 145/2023 to keep the short-term rental market transparent, fair, and competitive.

When did the CIN requirement start?

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

What do I need to do?

• Request your CIN through the Ministry of Tourism's online platform, Banca Dati Strutture Ricettive (BDSR).
• Display the CIN outside your property once you receive it.
• Include the CIN in all your rental listings, both online and offline.

What safety requirements apply?

Along with the CIN, all tourist rentals must meet these safety requirements:

• Install combustible gas and carbon monoxide detectors.
• Keep fire extinguishers on the property.
• Professional rentals, which are managed as a business, must meet additional safety installation requirements.
