The Carta d'Identità Elettronica (CIE) is Italy's electronic identity card, issued by the Ministry of the Interior and produced by the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato. It is a chip-based card that Italian citizens use as their national identity document and to access services provided by Italian public administrations, as well as services in other EU member states, using the CieID app.

Verification uses the certificates held on the card's chip. At the highest level, the person holds the card against an NFC-enabled smartphone running the CieID app, or uses a contactless reader, and enters their personal PIN. The scheme then confirms the identity linked to the card and can return verified details such as the person's name and date of birth. The customer proves who they are directly with their existing card and PIN, so there is no document upload or selfie step.

The scheme confirms the identity linked to the card and returns verified details such as name and date of birth.
Once the connector is activated, a verified result, the confirmed identity details, and a full audit record flow straight into your Zenoo case.
Chain these into one Zenoo Studio flow so a single journey handles identity, screening, and fraud.
Carta d'Identità Elettronica is one scheme in Zenoo's global coverage. Add a neighbouring register or a document fallback without changing your integration.
The person authenticates with their CIE by holding the card against an NFC-enabled smartphone running the CieID app, or using a contactless reader, and entering their personal PIN. The scheme confirms the identity linked to the card and returns verified details such as name and date of birth to your service.
On a successful authentication the scheme can return the person's verified name and date of birth, along with confirmation of the identity linked to the card. There is no document upload or selfie step, because the person proves identity with their existing card and PIN.
The CIE is Italy's official electronic identity card and is issued to citizens as their national identity document, but using its online authentication for a given private-sector service is not compulsory. It is a widely recognised way for Italians to prove who they are online.
You can activate this connector with your own account. Zenoo's AI builds the integration, typically within a day. The person then authenticates with their CIE and Zenoo returns a verified result with a full audit trail.
