Ghid buletin cu cip. Pașii concreți și costul real pentru noua carte electronică de identitate • Newsweek România

The transition to the new electronic ID card in Romania simplifies the process but introduces significant changes for citizens. The first issuance is free for those over 14, while replacements due to loss or changes cost 70 lei. The application process has been streamlined, requiring only an online appointment and a visit for biometric data collection. Key documents include the old ID, birth certificate, and proof of residence. Notably, the new card omits the home address from the physical card, storing it securely on the chip instead.
