Someone used my digital ID or government login — who do I contact?
Your national digital identity (the login you use for tax, benefits, health) is the master key to everything, so treat misuse as an emergency. Block or reset it at SPID / CIE — assistenza del gestore (spid.gov.it) — every scheme has a helpline for exactly this. Then report to Polizia di Stato / Carabinieri — denuncia (112) (112); the report number is needed to undo anything done in your name (a changed address, a benefit claim, a filed tax return). Garante per la protezione dei dati personali (06 696771) handles the data-protection side and can order the agency to correct the records. Never share a login code with anyone who calls — no agency ever asks.
🗣️ What to say
"I believe my [digital ID scheme] was used by someone else on [date]: [what happened / what I noticed]. Please block it immediately, tell me what actions were taken with it, and how I get a new one. I will file a police report and need a reference from you."

❓ Frequently asked
I gave the code to someone on the phone
That is how most cases start. Block the ID now; you are still the victim, and the agencies treat it as such. Report it.
Someone changed my registered address
Reverse it at the population register with the police report; an address change redirects mail and enables more fraud, so do it first.
Can I get a new ID?
Yes — the scheme reissues it after verification of your identity in person or via a bank.
