Thank you for the message.
I can understand your concerns and points mentioned. However, the Italian paper IDs do not have the necessary security features (chip or the electronic signature integrated) that are required for the distance verification and would be in accordance with the newest AML (anti-money laundering) regulations. Therefore, these cannot be accepted as a valid ID for this purpose. You can learn more about this here.
We understand that in these Covid times it is not easy to get new documents, however, please inform us on when you could obtain the acceptable ID document, which is your passport or the new ID card with a chip, and go through the verification with it. I know that it is possible to apply for the new ID, even before it has expired, at your local commune and some of our investors have even managed to get the IDs sent to their homes. Let me know if this has worked also for you.
Feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
Evita
