 Note that registration to Italian public healthcare is always for a full calendar year, from January to December. You would pay for the whole year even if start in December. Therefore, it is only feasible if you sign up in the beginning of the year. Also, know that you cannot register for healthcare before the year has actually started. Be careful if this creates a gap in your coverage.

 The process of signing up for the city (i.e., the residence) is linked to the process of signing up for health care so these two processes must be done in parallel. This is because payment of the health care fees is required in order to complete the registration for the city, which is in turn is required in order to sign up for the health care. Here you can encounter a circular dependency. Follow these steps carefully to break the loop:

+Note: It is apparently now possible to log in to INPS with the official digital ID of other EU states. Look for something called eIDAS. Please add details here if you try this.

 Once activated, apply for a "gestione separata" (Iscrizione dei lavoratori parasubordinati alla Gestione Separata) on their website by filling out a very short form. Note that the date to put in "modulo parasubordinato" is the starting date of your contract. Once the application is successful, download the ticket and send it to the department's Secretary.

 === Italian digital ID ===
 Italians generally have an official, digital ID known as an SPID. This can be used to complete official procedures entirely online. However, if all you want to do is a postdoc and are already registered in the city, then you might not need this. The same is true for the official, Italian mailbox used for official communications, the PEC. See [[Advanced topics]].
