The Electronic Identity Card is an identification document that can be issued to Italian citizens aged under 18 from birth. Minors can apply for the document valid for expatriation if both parents are present at the time of issuing the CIE.
The CIE validity is:
- 3 years for minors up to the age of 3;
- 5 years for minors aged between 3 and 18.
From the age of 12 onwards, two fingerprints of the minor are collected and he/she will have to sign the document.
