Question 4287 — identity papers

Summary

Mr. Stéphane Vojetta draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior and Overseas Territories to the recognition of the extension of the validity of national identity cards (CNI) by Spain and Portugal. By decree published on December 20, 2013, the entry into force of which was set for January 1, 2014, the French administration decided to extend the validity period of the identity cards of its fellow citizens. This five-year extension for national identity cards concerned the new secure national identity cards (plastic cards) issued from January 1, 2014 to adults and the secure national identity cards issued (plastic cards) between January 2, 2004 and December 31, 2013 to adults. Within the European Union, the authorities of certain countries have officially confirmed that they accept old national identity cards (blue plastic) apparently expired but whose validity period was automatically extended by 5 years and others officially refused it. However, Spain and Portugal are among the countries which have still not spoken out. Given the difficulties that French people established in this area encounter in renewing their identity documents, the recognition of expired CNI could relieve consulates and users. Also, he would like to know if he could intervene in this regard with the authorities of these countries.
