Changing from single work permit to spouse of EU citizen

By ID I assume you mean residence card, when you apply you are given a temporary one which you can use until your are notified about collection of your card.   They will probably take quite a while this year as it’s five years since the new cards were issued and all will have to be renewed.

The problem with the temporary ones is that it specifically states they are not travel documents, which means I can't leave Malta while the application is processing.

Re: Your questions: 

‘…….1) I've been married 13 months. I believe Malta identity will ask me to prove we've been in a relationship for longer than 2 years. What forms of proof are acceptable?

Response: Because you are married, documentary proof that you have been in a durable relationship for 2 years prior to the application for an ‘e-Residence Card’ does NOT arise.

Please see: ‘Supporting documents’ on page 3:

‘….2)…….How long would my ID card be valid for if I registered as spouse of EU citizen?

Response: The same as that of your EU spouse.
