What is the regional identification code (codice identificativo regionale)?

The Regional Identification Code (CIR) is an alphanumeric code linked to each accommodation facilities/STRs. It serves as a unique identifier assigned by Regions/Autonomous Provinces (Trento and Bolzano), for various purposes (mainly statistical, administrative and control purposes). The CIR may have different local names: please refer to the table below. 

 

Types of accommodations targeted

The identification code is assigned by Regions/Autonomous Provinces (Trento and Bolzano) to all accommodation facilities (strutture ricettive) and short-term rentals (locazioni brevi) (in the sense of Article 4 of Decreto-Legge No. 50 of April 24, 2017). 

Please note that Regions/Autonomous Provinces (Trento and Bolzano) may define different categories of strutture ricettive: please refer to your local laws/regulations. 

Where a Region/Autonomous Province (Trento and Bolzano) does not assign an identification yet, the national law mandates the assignment of a national code for all strutture ricettive and locazioni brevi (in the sense of Article 4 of Decreto-Legge No. 50 of April 24, 2017).

However, the mandatory information to provide is the codice identificativo nazionale (CIN). You must add it to your listing, because in absence of a valid CIN, misterb&b may delete your listing(s).
