The SPID , the Public System of Digital Identity, is now an indispensable tool for interacting with the Public Administration; it is a system that allows individuals and companies to access all the digital services of the Public Administration with a single digital tool; through the spid you can authenticate yourself on institutional sites and submit questions and requests directly from home.

- Enabling the spid login credentials
To request Aruba SPID you will need to connect to the Aruba SPID service page and select the recognition method. You have 3 different recognition modes available:
- With digital or remote signature: in this case you will have to download an Aruba ID membership form, digitally sign it and top it up signed; you therefore need a digital signature
- With health card or CNS: in this case you will have to insert your health card with CNS or your National Service Card in an enabled smart-card reader; you will therefore need a card reader, health card and pin
- With electronic identity card (CIE): in this case you will have to read the identity card with an NFC reader connected to the computer

- SPID Level 1: used to access online services that contain data that are not particularly sensitive. To log in with the SPID, simply enter the username and password of the Aruba SPID
- SPID Level 2:used to access online services that require a higher degree of security. To access via SPID you will need to enter the username and password of the Aruba SPID and then you will need to validate the authentication attempt with the Aruba OTP app

The free Aruba SPID allows you to manage Level 1 and Level 2 while for level 3 the Aruba spid is paid.
