On January 18th 2016, the "European Professional Card" (EPC) came into force for some professions , including Mountain Guides. The procedure concerns both Italian Mountain Guides who wish to practice their profession in another EU country and Mountain Guides from other EU countries who want to practice in Italy. The procedure aims at facilitating practicing the profession, including on temporary bases, in another EU member State.

The EPC card is an electronic procedure that simplifies the recognition of the professional title held by reducing both time and bureaucratic burdens. It has the form of an electronic certificate that certifies how the professional has passed every procedure to obtain the recognition of the professional qualification in the host country. The procedure works through IMI, the informative system that facilitates communication between national regulatory authorities of the professions.

In case of temporary request, the EPC card has a 12-month validity, in case of long-term establishment, the EPC card does not have a deadline.

In order to access, please go to ECAS portal to authenticate and follow the procedure. On Your Europe you can gather information on documents needed, prizes, application procedures and duration.

In Italy the applications for EPC Mountain guide card are handled by the Sport Department within the Presidency of the Council of ministers which is the national Authority appointed according to legislative decree 206/2007 pursuant Rec (UE) n. 2015/983.
