Montenegrin identity card

Montenegrin identity card (Montenegrin: Lična karta/Лична карта ) is the national identification card used in Montenegro. Though Lična karta is a primary photo ID, Montenegrin passport and national driver's license are used as valid photo IDs for various purposes. It is issued to all Montenegrin citizens residing in the country above 16 years of age, while it's required for those over the age of 18[1].

Montenegrin I.D is similar to a credit card, the identity card is plastic and rectangular in shape, 86 × 54 millimeters in size, as the same shape and size as many other ID cards, as specified by the ISO/IEC 7810 standard. On the left side is a photograph of bearer, it features a light pink, green in middle and blue color. On left side there is also a hologram, which shows Coat of Arms of Montenegro, map of country and country code: MNE. There is also a small hologram in lower part which shows a small photograph bearer and date of birth. On the top edge of the card, the name of Montenegro is available in two languages, Montenegrin and English (Crna Gora/Montenegro), below the name of the card is available in the same two languages (Lična karta/Identity card). On upper right corner there is small map of Montenegro in orange color which changes in other colors depending on angle of view (yellow, green). On the right side 2 letters are engraved "CG" (short of "Crna Gora") which you can see when rotating the card.

Language used on the form is Montenegrin and English, however, personal data is printed only in Montenegrin. Montenegrin citizens who are members of a national minority have the option to have the form of their Lična karta printed in Montenegrin, English , while personal data will be entered in native language (for example in Cyrillic script, or Albanian language).
