[edit] Application

New applications for a BI require a valid birth certificate and photo. If renewing a BI within six months of expiry a birth certificate is not required, just the old card and new photo. If replacing a lost/stolen/expired BI, a new application must be made and so both a birth certificate and photo are required.

[edit] Description

The BI is a 10.5 cm x 7.2 cm laminated card, embossed with an issuing seal. It is titled with República de Moçambique (English: Republic of Mozambique) with the national seal. It includes the following information about the card holder:

  • Photograph

  • Full Name
  • Sex
  • Nationality
  • Date of Birth
  • Place and Date of Issue
  • Expiration Date
