25.000 de oameni așteaptă validarea prin ROeID

The Romanian Digitalization Authority (ADR) has temporarily increased its capacity for validating digital identities through ROeID due to a surge in requests. Currently, around 25,000 validation requests are pending, with about 10,000 new requests daily. ADR has trained 40 staff members for validation and is training an additional 19 employees. Once the team of 59 is operational, the backlog is expected to be resolved in about a week, assuming the current request rate continues. Validation is primarily manual to prevent fraud and identity theft, with plans for automated validation by October 2026. After reducing the backlog, a team of around 40 will handle 10,000 to 15,000 requests daily until automation is implemented.
