The electronic identity card (CEI) and the simple identity card (CIS) prove identity, citizenship, and the home address. The electronic identity card (CEI) can be issued at any Community Public Service for Person Records (SPCEP). The simple identity card (CIS) is issued at the SPCEP from the place of residence or domicile of the individual. The identity card is mandatory after the age of 14. Optionally, an 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 has been entrusted by a final court decision, the parent who exercises sole parental authority based on a final court decision or, as the case may be, on the basis of a presidential ordinance issued under Law no. 134/2010 regarding the Code of Civil Procedure, 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 parents, where the minor is located, or the person to whom the child has been placed. If the minor is accompanied by only one parent, a declaration from the other parent stating agreement for issuing the identity document must also be presented, authenticated at the Romanian diplomatic mission in the country where that parent is located, at the public notary in the country, or before the competent foreign authorities. In this last case, the declaration must be presented translated and legalized according to the legal norms in force. The identity card is issued in the following cases: a) upon the expiration of the validity period of the identity document to be replaced; b) if the holder’s name or surname or date of birth is changed; c) in the case of a change of domicile; d) if the R.N.E.P. contains the statement “validity of domicile ended”; e) in the case of assigning a new C.N.P.; f) if the identity document is damaged; g) in the case of loss, theft, or destruction of the identity document; h) when the facial image in the identity document no longer matches the holder's appearance; i) in the case of gender change; j) in the case of cancellation; k) upon acquiring Romanian citizenship; l) establishing domicile abroad; m) in the case of changing the name or status of localities and streets, renumbering buildings or their reallocation, the establishment of localities or streets; n) upon request.
