Відкрити діяльність NCC в Італії (2026): дозвіл, реєстр, службовий лист

1. The authorisation: municipal and tied to a single vehicle

The NCC authorisation is issued by the municipality, normally via a public call, and is tied to a single vehicle (art. 8, Law 21/1992): a ten-car fleet needs ten authorisations. Unlike taxis, one company may hold several — which is what makes growing as a structured business possible.

Key territorial requirement: an operating seat and at least one garage base (rimessa) in the issuing municipality (additional bases possible within the same province or metropolitan city). The Council of State reaffirmed in 2026 that without a base in the original municipality the authorisation lapses — a detail that matters in multi-city operations.

2. The drivers' register at the Chamber of Commerce

Whoever drives — owner, employee or substitute — must be enrolled in the register of drivers of non-scheduled public transport vehicles, held by the Chamber of Commerce, after an exam before the regional commission. Enrolment conditions both obtaining the authorisation and working as a driver in an NCC company.

3. RENT: the national register is live

Since January 2025 RENT — the national public electronic register of taxi-licence and NCC-authorisation holders — is fully operational. Enrolment is mandatory and conditions continuing the activity: one more reason to keep authorisations, enrolments and deadlines in order per plate and per driver.

4. Operating rules: booking, base, consecutive services

NCC works on bookings, received at the seat or base — including via technological means (art. 11): no picking up clients on the street, no waiting at taxi ranks. The price is freely agreed.

On returning to base, the Constitutional Court (ruling 56/2020) settled the point: the obligation to return after every single ride is unlawful when successive bookings exist — consecutive services are legitimate. The proof, at a check, is the booking history with times: keep it in order and you travel calm.

5. The service sheet: mandatory contents, format in flux

Every service must be documented in the service sheet with the contents of art. 11: vehicle, driver, times, kilometres, client details. On the centralised electronic format the picture is moving: the implementing decree (DM 226/2024) was annulled by the TAR Lazio in August 2025 — partly over centralised passenger-data retention — the ministry announced an appeal, and new rules are being drafted.

The strategy that doesn't depend on decrees: record today, for every ride, all the data art. 11 lists. Whatever format lands — ministry app, export, paper — becomes a formality if the data already exists, ordered and timestamped.
