Front of Cartão de Cidadão

The Citizen Card (CC) (Portuguese: Cartão de Cidadão) is the new national identity card issued by the Portuguese government to its citizens. The new card was primarily designed to replace the older Bilhete de Identidade (English: Identity Card), which is still in use, and to combnine other goverment documents (including social security documents, the National Health Service card, the taxpayer card and the voter registration card) in one secure card. The CC was introduced by the government of José Sócrates and was first issued in the Azores in mid 2006.
