Bilhete de identidade (Mozambique)

The Bilhete de identidade (English: Identity Card), commonly abbreviated to BI, is the national ID card of Mozambique.

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.

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

Identification Number
Full Name
Sex
Nationality
Date of Birth
Place and Date of Issue
Expiration Date
Height
