Italian citizens residing in Hong Kong and Macau and registered to AIRE can now apply for the Electronic Identity Card (CIE) at the Consulate General.
The Electronic Identity Card (CIE) is a personal identification document issued by the Ministry of Interior and produced by the State Printing and Mint Institute, valid for identification and circulation in the European Union, as well as in some states adhering to the Schenghen Agreement (e.g. Iceland, Norway and Switzerland) and in other states with which bilateral agreements have been reached (see the individual “country sheets” on the website www.viaggiaresicuri.it).
The Consulate General of Italy in Hong Kong is authorized to issue the CIE only and exclusively to Italian citizens regularly residing in this consular district and registered in AIRE.
