Bosnian-Herzegovinian identity card (Serbian/Bosnian: Li?na karta, Serbian Cyrillic: ????? ?????, Croatian: Osobna iskaznica) is a compulsory identity document issued in Bosnia. All Bosnian citizens who are residents of Bosnia and Herzegovina and are over the age of 15 have the right to apply for the national ID card; nevertheless, all Bosnian-Herzegovina citizens that are over the age of 18 must have an Identity Card issued by the police (Ministarstvo unutarnjih poslova - MUP) by the city of residence.
On 1 March 2013, Bosnia and Herzegovina created a new electronic ID card costing 18 convertible marks (9,2 Euros). Thanks to the production technology of electronic identity cards, risk of falsifying documents was reduced with the use of digital presentation and digital signature. Other protective elements in identity card are fully compliant with EU recommendations.
