From Monday, August 3, the paper identity card loses its validity by European regulation. And even though in Italy its validity has been extended until early 2027 for various functions, expatriation is not among them.

What will be allowed and what will not
Those who need to travel abroad and only have the paper format document in their pocket will have to obtain the electronic identity card (CIE) or another equivalent document, while for a long series of dealings with public administration, banks, and public services the old document will continue to be valid until January 31, 2027.
The expatriation issue
Therefore, the issue remains for those who must leave urgently without having yet collected the CIE. Until January 31, 2027, the mayor may issue, only in cases of documented urgency, a provisional identity document: maximum validity six months, non-renewable, on paper with enhanced security measures compared to the current paper card.

The provisional document
Unlike the ordinary expiring document, the provisional one will be valid for expatriation, but the citizen must be warned at the time of issue that some foreign states may not accept it. The model of the provisional document, the Ministry of the Interior recalls, is still being defined, as well as the operational procedures for municipalities.
On the cost front, the circular also addresses the collection of the amount due for the CIE: the State Printing Office and Mint will use Valoridicarta Spa, and a centralized platform integrated with CIEOnLine and PagoPA will be activated, allowing participating municipalities to charge the citizen the amount even before going to the counter. Of the €1.85 VAT portion reassigned to the Ministry of the Interior, €1.15 will cover the Ministry’s management costs and €0.70 will go to municipalities for the management and distribution expenses of the document. Again, timing for adherence and technical specifications remain to be defined.
