The Consulate General of Italy in Philadelphia has started the issuance of the electronic identity card (CIE) on a trial basis. It is now possible to apply for the new electronic ID card, by appointment, through the PRENOT@MI platform.

The EIC may only be issued to Italian citizens regularly residing in their consular district, who are already entered into the consular register and whose personal data are already present in the Interior Ministry’s database of the Register of Italians living abroad (A.I.R.E.) (and, in the future, in the National Register of the Resident Population – ANPR).
