Maltese identity card

Maltese identity cards are issued to Maltese citizens. They can be used as a travel document when visiting countries in the European Union and the European Economic Area.

They can also be used instead of a Maltese passport to visit French overseas territories, Georgia, Montserrat (for max. 14 days) Turkey and organized tours to Tunisia.

In August 2020, new electronic ID cards conforming to new EU standards under Regulation 2019/1157 began to be issued. Sample images of these new ID cards can be found at this link: MALTA%20CI3.pdf
