Maltese identity cards are issued to Maltese citizens.[2] 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, Georgia, Montserrat (for max. 14 days) Turkey and organized tours to Tunisia.[3]

In August 2020, new electronic ID cards conforming to new EU standards under Regulation 2019/1157 began to be issued.[4] Sample images of these new ID cards can be found at this link: MALTA%20CI3.pdf
