The Romanian government has adopted an emergency ordinance to implement the European Digital Identity Wallet, allowing citizens to store official documents on a secure mobile app. This initiative aligns with the EU eIDAS regulation and aims to reduce bureaucracy by enabling easier interactions with public institutions and private companies. The app will allow users to validate their identity electronically and manage what information they share. The implementation involves several authorities, with a timeline for public communication and technical procedures set within 180 days. The use of the digital wallet is optional and free for citizens.
