Venezuela National ID Card (Cédula de Identidad)

This image shows a Venezuelan National Identification Document, commonly known as a Cédula de Identidad. It is the official identification document issued to citizens of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

Technically, these documents are produced by the Venezuelan state. Specifically, they are managed and issued by the Servicio Administrativo de Identificación, Migración y Extranjería (SAIME), which is an agency under the Ministry of Popular Power for Interior Relations, Justice, and Peace. The document serves as legal proof of identity and citizenship within the country and is required for most administrative and commercial transactions.

While the document itself is a product of the Venezuelan government, the raw materials or technology for printing identifying documents have historically been sourced through various international contracts, though the ultimate ownership and legal authority reside uniquely with the Venezuelan state.
