An identity card (eID card) is a personal identification document that verifies the holder's identity and legal status.

Each person registered in the Population Register can obtain the eID card, according to his or her legal status. An eID card can be issued to children under the age of 15 upon an application of parents or the legal guardian.

A person can simultaneously have only one eID card and only one passport (except for diplomatic and service passports).
