CIE ID
CIE ID is an Italian government utility for reading and verifying digital identity documents. It provides access to electronic identity card (Carta d'Identità Elettronica, or CIE) data on Mac computers, allowing Italian citizens to authenticate their identity for government services, banking, and other applications requiring verified ID. The app interfaces with ID card readers and cryptographic chips embedded in Italian national ID cards. It is maintained by IPZS, the Italian government's print and mint authority.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find detailed information about CIE ID's current development status or whether a native Apple Silicon build exists. Because the app is specific to Italian government identity services and there are few public sources in English, we recommend contacting IPZS directly (ipzs.it) or visiting the official CIE distribution channel to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is available or planned. Given that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), if you rely on this app for identity verification, it is important to confirm the vendor's roadmap now so you have a migration path before the deadline. In the meantime, the Intel build continues to run under Rosetta 2 on current macOS versions.
