National Identification Card

The National Identification Card is a national identity card issued to Fratanican residents through provincial document authorities and embassies abroad. All residents are eligible to receive a card at age 16, and required to have one by age 17. The National Identification Card serves as the main document identification document. The card has transitioned into one with smart capabilities starting 2016, due to new regulations instituted by the Identification Printing Center under the easyID program.
