Italy Plans to End Identity Card Renewals for People Over 70

The change is set to be folded into a forthcoming simplification decree awaiting submission to Parliament.

Overview

  • Public Administration Minister Paolo Zangrillo announced the proposal during the Next Economy program on Giornale Radio.
  • The measure would remove the requirement for people over 70 to periodically renew their identity cards.
  • Zangrillo framed the step as a way to spare older citizens trips to municipal offices for renewals.
  • Under current rules, adult identity cards are valid for ten years and the electronic CIE must be renewed by appointment at the local municipality.
  • No legal text, implementation timeline, or operational guidance for municipalities has been released yet.
