🇮🇹 Italy Number Porting Guide

​

Initial Overview

​

1. Supported Number Types

​

2. Submit Your Request

Request porting directly in the CloudTalk Dashboard: open Numbers > Port existing number and follow the guided steps. All supported number types for this country use the same flow, and you can track your request anytime under Numbers > Porting requests.

​

3. Letter of Authorization

Where an LOA is required, the correct template for this country downloads inside the Documents step of your porting request: download it, sign it, and upload it right there. You no longer need a separate template from this guide. (Other document requirements listed below.)

​

✅ Local Numbers

• Signed LOA (signed by an authorized company representative; address must match provider’s records)
• Recent invoice (dated within the last 30 days, showing number and account holder)
• Migration Code (must be requested from your current provider; required to process the port)

Compliance:

• Company representative’s ID (passport or national ID)
• Tax ID (Codice Fiscale)
• Company details (legal name, VAT number, Italian address)

​

✅ Toll-Free Numbers

1. Signed LOA (address in Italy not required)
