Portugal will have a new citizen card with a new design and enhanced security from mid-year, said Secretary of State for Digitization and Administrative Modernization Mario Campolargo.
In an interview with Antena 1 and Jornal de Negócios, Mario Campolargo said the replacement will be gradual as the current cards expire.
In the middle of this year, Portugal will launch “a new citizen card with a very attractive ‘design’ that will be at the forefront in terms of safety and quality,” including in terms of security, he said. to the citizen himself and to save data.
One of the innovations will be “contactless” technology, which no longer requires a card reader.
The Secretary of State for Digitization and Administrative Modernization also said that a return to 100% face-to-face service in public services is not foreseen, and will continue with 50% pre-registration “online” and 50% in person.
In 2023, the government intends to open eight new shops for citizens.
