The electronic identity card (CEI) and the simple identity card (CIS) prove identity, citizenship, and address of residence. The electronic identity card (CEI) is issued at any community public service for personal record (SPCEP). The simple identity card (CIS) is issued at the SPCEP from the person's place of residence or domicile. The identity card is mandatory after the age of 14. Optionally, the electronic identity card can be issued to a minor between 0-14 years at the request of both parents, the legal representative, the surviving parent, the parent to whom the child was entrusted by a final court decision, the parent who exercises sole parental authority under a final court decision or, as applicable, under a presidential ordinance issued in accordance with Law no. 134/2010 regarding the Civil Procedure Code, republished, with subsequent amendments and additions, or the person designated within the public social service or an accredited private provider, intended for the special protection of the child, temporarily or permanently separated from the parents, where the minor is, or the person to whom the child has been placed in care. In situations where the minor is accompanied only by one of the parents, the statement of the other parent confirming their agreement for the issuance of the identity document must also be presented, authenticated at Romania's diplomatic mission in the country in which they reside, at a public notary in Romania, or at the competent foreign authorities. In this last case, the statement must be presented translated and legalized according to the legal norms in force. The identity card is issued in the following cases: a) upon expiration of the validity period of the identity document to be replaced; b) if the holder's name or surname or birth date has been changed; c) in case of change of domicile; d) if the RN.E.P. mentions “validity of domicile ended”; e) if a new C.N.P. is assigned; f) in case of deterioration of the identity document; g) in case of loss, theft, or destruction of the identity document; h) when the facial image in the identity card no longer matches the holder's appearance; i) in case of sex change; j) in case of cancellation; k) upon obtaining Romanian citizenship; l) establishing domicile abroad; m) in case of changing the name or rank of localities and streets, renumbering buildings or reassigning them, establishing localities or streets; n) upon request.
