Maltese identity cards are issued to Maltese citizens and other lawful residents of Malta. They can be used as a travel document when visiting countries in the European Union and the European Economic Area.
They can also be used instead of a Maltese passport to visit French overseas territories , Greenland (de facto), Georgia, Montserrat (for max. 14 days) and Turkey.
In August 2020, new electronic ID cards conforming to new EU standards under Regulation 2019/1157 began to be issued.[2] Sample images of these new ID cards can be found at this link: sample_IDCard_Doc.jpg
