The Icelandic identity card (Icelandic: Nafnskírteini), is a voluntary identity document issued by Registers Iceland on behalf of the Icelandic Government. It is only issued to Icelandic citizens and may indicate citizenship, so that it can be used as a travel document facilitating freedom of movement within the European Union and the European Free Trade Association.
The Icelandic identity card is uncommon in Iceland, as most people use their driving licence as ID. In 2024, an updated EU compliant design was introduced, allowing the card to be used for travel in the EU/EFTA.
An electronic ID (Icelandic: Rafræn Skilríki) is issued separately from the regular ID card.
