Abroad only with electronic identity card

The article discusses the phasing out of paper-based identity documents in Italy, specifically highlighting that the paper ID card will no longer be valid for international travel starting from now. It notes that travelers must use the electronic ID card (CIE) or passport for trips abroad, though some temporary documents may still be accepted in certain countries. The change coincides with summer travel season, potentially causing inconvenience due to lack of adequate public awareness. The article mentions that while the paper ID remains valid for specific administrative purposes until January 2027, it will no longer suffice for travel. Over 10 million people aged 70 and above will no longer need to renew their paper IDs starting July 30th. The transition aims to modernize identification systems but has raised concerns about preparedness among citizens.
