Corrective actions to continue to benefit from public administration services

For new cards produced without the National Service Card component, it will also be possible to use the card with an electronic chip until December 31, 2023 even if it has an expired expiration date on the front. This has been made possible to continue to allow citizens the ability to use the digital services of public administration that access is provided through this functionality on institutional portals.

The Ministry of Economy, in agreement with the Ministry of Health, will automatically send it two months before the deadline, to the address of the tax domicile of the client located in the tax register, which usually coincides with the residence.
