Egyptian National Identity Card

In Egypt, the card number in the photo is the national ID number.

National Identity Card, officially known as the Identity Verification Card in Egypt, is a personal identification document issued by the Civil Registry Authority, which operates under the jurisdiction of the Egyptian Ministry of Interior. The card serves as identifying Egyptian citizens, in compliance with Law No. 143 of 1994 on Civil Status.

This law mandates that all citizens aged 16 and above obtain and carry the identity card and present it to public authorities upon request. Failure to acquire the card, update personal data within three months of any changes, or present the card when requested by public officials may result in a fine.

The validity period of the National Identity Card is determined by a decree from the Minister of the Interior, currently set at seven years from the date of issuance.[1] Once this period expires, the card becomes invalid.[2]
