The Bilhete de identidade (), commonly abbreviated to BI, is the national identity 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 Finger Print Identification Number Full Name Sex Nationality Date of Birth Place and Date of Issue Expiration Date Height Occupation Marital Status Address Signature
