    birthdate="03/04/1985",
    birthplace="Torino",
)

# "CCCFBA85D03L219P"

Decode

codicefiscale.decode("CCCFBA85D03L219P")

# {
#     "code": "CCCFBA85D03L219P",
#     "gender": "M",
#     "birthdate": datetime.datetime(1985, 4, 3, 0, 0),
#     "birthplace": {
#         "name": "TORINO"
#         "province": "TO",
#         "code": "L219",
#     },
#     "firstname_options": [
#         "Fabio",
#     ],
#     "omocodes": [
#         "CCCFBA85D03L219P",
#         "CCCFBA85D03L21VE",
#         "CCCFBA85D03L2MVP",
#         "CCCFBA85D03LNMVE",
#         "CCCFBA85D0PLNMVA",
#         "CCCFBA85DLPLNMVL",
#         "CCCFBA8RDLPLNMVX",
#         "CCCFBAURDLPLNMVU",
#     ],
#     "raw": {
#         "code": "CCCFBA85D03L219P",
#         "lastname": "CCC",
#         "firstname": "FBA",
#         "birthdate": "85D03",
#         "birthdate_year": "85"
#         "birthdate_month": "D",
#         "birthdate_day": "03",
#         "birthplace": "L219",
#         "cin": "P",
#     },
# }

[!TIP] Name suggestions: The firstname_options field contains a list of possible first names matching the encoded firstname code. For Italian birthplaces, in approximately 60% of cases, it returns a single name, providing near-certain identification. In other cases, it returns a list of possible names. For foreign birthplaces, the list is empty.

Check

codicefiscale.is_valid("CCCFBA85D03L219P")

# True

codicefiscale.is_omocode("CCCFBA85D03L219P")

# False
