New regulations for the card for people with special needs

The Ministry of National Solidarity has established new procedures for issuing cards to people with special needs. The new digital card features a QR code and is valid for a period of five years. It must be issued by local social affairs directors within 30 days of the administrative and medical file submission. If a person changes their residence, the file must be transferred between provincial departments within 15 days. The decree also outlines procedures for replacing the card if it is lost, stolen, or damaged, requiring either a police report or a sworn statement. Existing cards remain valid until the new digital versions are distributed to the holders.
