National identity cards in the European Economic Area and Switzerland

Port officials in Piraeus have announced the arrest of a 64-year-old non-national who was found to be in possession of forged documents and a large sum of cash.

Starting June 17, Bulgarians will have the option to obtain a new version of their national identity card, which will feature an embedded chip along with biometric data including two fingerprints and a photograph. This change is implemented with the aim of enhancing the security of the document.
