The quick read

What's driving the attention

The Bilhete de Identidade, formerly accepted for travel within Europe, has lost its validity as a travel document in Portugal.

Recent updates indicate that the traditional Portuguese Bilhete de Identidade is no longer valid as a travel document within Europe. This change affects Portuguese citizens who still use the old lifelong identity card as identification during travel. The new rule means holders need alternative, currently accepted travel identification to avoid risks while traveling.
