The paper identity card will also be valid after August 3, as provided for in a circular from the Ministry of the Interior in February.
The Council of Ministers, with a decree law approved yesterday, modified the validity period: paper identity cards that have not yet expired will maintain their validity until their natural expiry, even beyond the deadline of 3 August 2026, "for certain purposes and in relations with the public administration and with entities providing public services" .
While waiting for the electronic identity card to be issued, municipalities may also issue a temporary identity document.
