The Italian electronic identity card (Italian: carta di identità elettronica, CIE), or simply carta d'identità (lit. 'identity card'), is an identification document issued to Italian citizens and to legal aliens residing in Italy, that has been progressively replacing the paper-based identity card since version 3.0 was first released on 4 July 2016. The CIE is intended for both digital and physical identification. The biometric information is printed on an ID-1 card and stored in a contactless chip.
