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.
