The Carta nazionale dei servizi (in English National Service Card) (CNS) is an Italian personal document which is placed alongside the Italian electronic identity card.

It has the aim of allowing users who do not yet have the new electronic document to use the services provided for the CIE and integrates the functions of the health card of the Italian National Health Service and of the European Health Insurance Card.

The complete IT correspondence between CNS and CIE ensures interoperability between the two cards and the possibility for citizens to access public administration online services with both cards.

The CNS can be defined as a standard of cards that can be issued by different entities (for example, the regional service card issued by the regions of Lombardy, Umbria, Sicily, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Puglia and Tuscany and by the autonomous provinces of Bolzano and Trento are simultaneously national and European health cards and national services cards), but which nonetheless allow access to all national services.

With the DPR 2 March 2004, n. 117, the "Regulations concerning the diffusion of the national service charter are issued, in accordance with art. 27, paragraph 8, letter b), of law no. 3 of 16 January 2003".

The national service card is an ISO/IEC 7810  : 2003 ID-1 format smart card (85.60 mm × 53.98 mm × 0.76 mm) which follows the ISO/IEC 7816 standard and has an asymmetric encryption system necessary to guarantee authenticity of the card itself. The following data are stored inside:
