Are you a self-employed worker: what documents do you need

To apply for compulsory maternity as a self-employed worker, it is necessary to provide the INPS with a series of documents. First, you need personal documents, which include a valid identity document, such as an identity card or passport, and the tax code. A medical certificate stating the expected date of delivery is also required, in case the application is submitted before the child is born. If, on the other hand, the request is submitted after delivery, it will be necessary to attach the child's birth certificate or a self-certification. From a contribution and work point of view, it is essential to prove enrollment in the reference INPS management, depending on the category to which they belong (artisans, traders, direct growers, etc.). It is also necessary to provide proof of the regular payment of INPS contributions in the months covered by the allowance and a self-certification of work continuity, since, unlike employees, the self-employed are not obliged to suspend their activities to benefit from the allowance.
