Italy

eKYB Prefill in Italy leverages Italy's source of truth to automatically retrieve and populate business information based on a company's CCIAA/NREA number, VAT/Tax Code, or Codice Fiscale, including the business name, registered address, entity type, registration status, directors, shareholders, and additional financial and corporate data, without requiring manual input from the user.

Direct API approach

For general integration notes and shared response semantics, see the eKYB Prefill API Reference.

All module configurations and user data can be forwarded directly in the request for performing a Prefill lookup. This overrides existing configuration and data collected about the user.

Endpoint

POST /omni/externalVerification/ekyb-prefill

Request parameters

Tax ID formats

The taxId field accepts three Italian business identifier types. Routing between them is determined automatically by the format of the submitted value.

Inputs that do not match any of the above formats return a 400 error.

Sample request

{
    "plugins": ["ekyb-prefill"],
    "source": "IT_KYB_PREFILL",
    "country": "IT",
    "taxId": "BR123456",
    "businessName": "ITALIA VENEZIA ENTERPRISE",
    "address": "STRADA MILANO STRADA 17, 72014 CISTERNINO BR"
}

Sample response

The Prefill response returns business data retrieved directly from the source of truth. Fields are returned as-is from the source. nameMatch and addressMatch are only present when businessName or address were submitted in the request. Fields such as turnover, employeeCount, shareholders, directors, creditRating, and companySize may be absent for sole traders and smaller companies — this is expected, not an error.
