Commission calls for issuing electronic identity for Italians abroad

Parliamentarians demand the Italian government issue electronic identity abroad

The Committee for Foreign and Constitutional Affairs, in the Italian Parliament, approved this Tuesday (18) a resolution to demand that the Italian government issue an electronic Identity Card also to Italians residing abroad.

The information was released by Italian-Brazilian congressman Luiz Lorenzato, of the Lega party, on his Facebook profile.

Standing in line at the consulate doesn't erase your right to citizenship.

The Italian Supreme Court has confirmed that a consular blockade is legal grounds for legal action.

• Were you unable to schedule an appointment at the consulate?
• Is the process stalled or poorly managed?
• Maternal lineage?
• Incomplete documentation?

See if there is still a solution.

Today, the electronic Identity Card is issued only to citizens residing in Italy and in European Union countries.

Italian-Brazilians, for example, if they wish to have the document, they must request the issuance of the Carta d'identità at their AIRE registration community, that is, they must make an appointment and appear in person at the responsible body in Italy.

Asked by a follower about what is needed to approve the issuance of the electronic Identity Card Abroad, Lorenzato said that “the government lacks will”.

It is worth noting that the document is not valid outside the European Union.
