"All Albanian citizens, who will need to apply for a new ID card after reaching the age of 75, will get an electronic ID without an expiration date," the minister said.

Referring to the amendments, Lleshaj noted that the Albanian government focuses on modernizing the services provided to citizens, especially to people over 75 years old.
