Identity card, from tomorrow the renewal for over 70 will be for life

Starting from Thursday, Italian citizens who are 70 years old or older will be able to renew their electronic identity card (CIE) indefinitely, rather than receiving a fixed-term renewal. This change applies to individuals who turn 70 before submitting their request and affects renewals issued starting July 30, 2026. The measure was included in the government’s PNRR decree law, which was later converted into legislation. Existing holders of a valid CIE do not need to take any action now but will receive an unlimited validity upon natural expiration of their current document. The goal of this reform is to simplify administrative procedures for elderly citizens, reduce bureaucratic burdens, and ease the workload on local municipalities.

The identity card becomes permanent, as will the new document.

Starting from July 30, Italian citizens over 70 years old will no longer need to renew their identity cards, which will now have unlimited validity. This change is part of the government’s simplification decrees aimed at reducing bureaucracy for elderly citizens and easing the workload of municipal offices. The new ID cards will automatically recognize the holder’s age through an electronic system, eliminating the need for manual renewal. However, the electronic chip embedded in the card, used for accessing digital public services like the IO app and INPS, will still require updating every ten years.
