Ghidul noului buletin: Diferențe între Cartea Electronică de Identitate (CEI) și cea simplă (CIS), costuri și valabilitate

The transition to new identity documents in Romania raises questions for citizens regarding validity, options, and costs. Old ID cards remain valid until their expiration, while new electronic and simple identity cards offer different functionalities. The electronic card allows online authentication and travel within the EU, while the simple card lacks these features. Changes to personal information require updating the ID, and applications for new documents must be submitted within specific timeframes. Fees vary based on age and type of card, with specific procedures for loss or theft of the electronic card.
