The Romanian government plans to launch the Ro Wallet digital identity project in phases starting January 2027. This application will allow citizens to access their identity data and digital documents via their phones. Premier Luca Niculescu emphasized that the project aligns with European digital identity standards and aims to reduce bureaucracy and simplify public services. The system will ensure data privacy and facilitate both online and offline identity verification within Romania and the EU. Initial enrollment will be available for holders of electronic identity cards, while traditional ID holders will need to wait until late 2027 for in-person verification.
