[!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

python
codicefiscale.is_valid("CCCFBA85D03L219P")

# True

python
codicefiscale.is_omocode("CCCFBA85D03L219P")

# False
