How to Register and Operate on Acquisti in rete
To use the Acquisti in rete PA platform, economic operators must complete the following two steps:
- User Registration
- Vendor Qualification (required only for operations on MePA or SDAPA)
These procedures apply to both Italian and foreign users.
The registration process depends on whether the user holds a recognised digital identity.
Registration with digital identity (SPID, CIE, CNS, or eIDAS) 
If you already have a recognised digital identity:
- Go to the homepage and click LOGIN
- Select your identity provider
- Upon successful authentication, complete your user profile
- If you intend to operate on MePA or SDAPA, proceed to the Vendor Qualification step
Registration without SPID, CIE, CNS, or eIDAS - SIGN UP
This procedure applies to:
- Non-EU citizens
- EU citizens whose country does not support eIDAS
- Italian citizens residing abroad without access to SPID, CIE, or CNS
Select SIGN UP from the login pop‑up to register a new account or recover access to an existing one (for users who have already registered but are no longer able to access the System).

Identity Verification (Video Interview)
If you register without a recognised digital identity, you must complete a remote identify verification process.

- The session may be conducted in Italian or English
Notification of Successful Verification
If the verification is successful, you will receive three separate emails:
- First email: contains the username assigned by the system.
- Second email: provides a link to set your password.
- Third email includes a link to activate two-factor authentication (valid for 24 hours from the time of receipt).
Activation of Two‑Factor Authentication
Once you have obtained your username and password, to proceed with the activation of two-factor authentication, you must download Microsoft Authenticator from your app store. After downloading the application, select the link provided in the third email to activate two-factor authentication; you will be redirected to the Acquisti in Rete homepage.
Here, within the Sign In section, enter your username and password once again. After you have entered your credentials, you will be redirected to a page of the website where a QR code will be displayed. Please scan this code using the Microsoft Authenticator application you have previously installed. Once the scan is complete, two‑factor authentication will be successfully activated.
Two‑Factor Authentication During Login
To access the Acquisti in rete PA website:
- Select Sign in.
- Enter your username and password, then click Login.
- When prompted, enter the OTP code generated by your two‑factor authentication application.
