What is CNI?

CNI stands for "Carte Nationale d'Identité," which translates to "National Identity Card" in English. The CNI is an official identification document issued by the French government to French citizens. It serves as a proof of identity and nationality within France and certain other European Union (EU) countries.

The CNI contains personal information about the cardholder, including their full name, date and place of birth, photograph, signature, and the card's expiration date. It is an important document for various purposes, such as accessing public services, traveling within the EU, and conducting official transactions.

The French National Identity Card is generally valid for 10 years for adults and 5 years for minors. It is issued by the local government authorities and is mandatory for French citizens aged 18 and above. The CNI is an alternative to a French passport for travel within the EU and some other countries that accept it as a valid travel document.
