Sign agreements and metadata
Before you set up SPID in production, you must sign an agreement with Signicat and obtain access to our infrastructure. During onboarding, Signicat registers your organisation in the SPID federation.
Prerequisites
To prepare the contract, you need to provide us with the following information:
- Contact information: name, email and phone number.
- VAT identification number.
- Fiscal code (Codice Fiscale), if your organisation is also registered in Italy.
- Contact information of the employees who have permission to revoke or block SPID.
- The title to display on the SPID client. For example: your company name.
If your are an existing customer, you need to apply for an addendum to your existing Signicat contract. For new customers, the addendum is already included in the initial agreement.

SPID Metadata
Signicat helps you with registering you as a new customers in the SPID federation by submitting SAML metadata.
SAML Metadata
When you integrate SPID through Signicat, a metadata document with information about your organisation is generated and registered with AgID (the agency that regulates SPID). Note that AgID processes metadata submissions for new service providers three times a week.
If you add a new domain in the Signicat Dashboard and want to connect your SPID integration to that domain, the SPID metadata with AgID needs to be updated so that SPID can work correctly on the new domain.
If you update your domain in the Signicat Dashboard, please ask our support team to update your SPID metadata with AgID by creating a support ticket in the Signicat Dashboard.
Installation in production
After your initial contact with Signicat, an onboarding manager will be assigned as technical responsible in the SPID agreement. They will handle communication with AgID and your organisation. When the metadata is approved, it will be available in your Signicat account configuration.
Installation in sandbox account
When the testing the configuration in your sandbox account, you may verify your metadata and installation by sending calls to SPID services using test users.
Follow the steps in the Try out SPID to test SPID authentications in your sandbox account.
