THE NATIONAL IDENTITY CARD

        Algerian nationals registered with the Consulate General of Algeria in Montreal and holding biometric passports may now submit their first application for an electronic biometric national identity card online, without submitting an administrative file or visiting the Consulate General, through the following link:

https://passeport.interieur.gov.dz/

You can track your application for an Algerian biometric electronic national identity card (CNIBE) on this website under TRACK YOUR APPLICATION

 The new document must be collected at the Consulate General upon presentation of an identity document.

 Issuance of the new document is conditional upon surrendering the previous Algerian identity card, whether valid or expired.

Renewal of the Algerian identity card cannot be completed online. It is subject to the same procedures as a passport application or renewal: booking an appointment and submitting a complete file.
