An identity card or credit card type of card is equipped with a validity-checking device that makes it possible to do away with the use of complementary, sophisticated checking equipment. It results from the association of a structure S.sub.1 comprising at least one layer of piezoelectric material and a structure S.sub.2 comprising a material capable of switching electrically between two optical states (I) and (II) that are different in terms of ocular perception. During the bending of the card, the validity or non-validity of the card can be attested to by the appearance or non-appearance of the validity of the card.
