Maltese ID Card

Maltese identity cards are issued to Maltese citizens and other lawful residents of Malta. 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, the Faroe Islands, Greenland (de facto), Georgia, Montserrat (for max. 14 days), Turkey and on organized tours to Jordan (through Aqaba Airport)

The Identity Card Unit (ICU) is the authority responsible for the issuing of electronic identity cards to Maltese citizens and the registration of e-ID (virtual) accounts for both individuals and organisations.
