How to Apply for ISEE Online? The Complete Procedure for Single Parents
Practical guide to the online ISEE procedure for requesting the certificate independently through the INPS portal, with a focus on the needs of single parents.
In Short: How to Request the Online ISEE?
To apply for the ISEE online, you need to access the INPS portal through the Pre-filled ISEE service. This method pre-populates most income and asset data, reducing the risk of errors. The process is completed by submitting the DSU Dichiarazione Sostitutiva Unica – Unified Substitute Declaration and receiving the certificate within a few business days.
What You Need to Start: Requirements and Access
To start the online procedure, you must have one of the following access credentials: SPID Public Digital Identity System level 2 or higher. CIE Electronic Identity Card. CNS National Services Card. Once logged into the INPS website, search for the "Pre-filled ISEE" service. You will need to provide consent for data processing and enter verification details such as a bank account balance or rental payment amount to unlock the data for adult members of your household.

Pre-filled DSU Steps
The procedure involves three main steps: 1. Declare Household Members: Enter the personal details of your family members. If you are a single parent, pay close attention to any dependent children or cohabiting individuals. 2. Authorization and Verification: For pre-filled data bank accounts, income, property, INPS requires verification. If there are other adults in the household, they will need to authorize access via their SPID, or you will need to enter their health card details and an economic verification value. 3. Confirm and Submit: Once the revenue agency has validated the data, you will receive a notification. You will need to log back into the portal, check that the data is correct and modify it if necessary, and click "Submit DSU".

Why is ISEE Crucial for GenGle Members?
For single parents, filling out the ISEE can have specific nuances, especially if the other parent is not cohabiting but has acknowledged the children. In such cases, the other parent might be considered an "included member" or "additional member" for the minor's ISEE, unless specific exceptions apply like court-ordered alimony payments. Obtaining the ISEE is crucial for accessing benefits such as the child benefit, reduced-price school canteens, and the unique allowance.
