Overview
- Public Administration Minister Paolo Zangrillo announced that people over 70 would no longer need to renew their identity cards, easing visits to municipal offices.
- Speaking at the ANCI assembly, Zangrillo said he aims to file the measure by the end of the year and activate it during 2026.
- Today adult ID cards are valid for ten years and the electronic CIE requires a fresh application through a municipal appointment.
- Key details remain pending, including how to handle documents expiring at age 70 and how to manage updates to photos, addresses, or civil status.
- The plan sits within a wider simplification package that would expand pharmacy roles to include vaccinations, first-line tests, provision of medical devices, and the ability to choose a GP at the pharmacy.
