The procedure is addressed to persons who wish to obtain their identity document upon turning 14 years old.

Upon reaching the age of 14, the minor appears at the counter of the community public service for the record of persons, accompanied by one of the parents or, as the case may be, by their legal representative, by the person designated from the specialized center under the authority of the public social assistance service, or by the person to whom the minor has been entrusted in placement, in order to request the issuance of the identity document.

In the situation where the parents have different domiciles, the application for the issuance of the identity document is signed by the parent with whom the minor has their domicile, according to the law.

For the minor who, although entrusted by court decision to one of the parents, permanently resides with the other parent, a consent declaration from the parent to whom the minor was entrusted is required, stating their agreement for the address where the minor permanently resides to be registered in the identity document.

The declaration provided can be given at the counter, in the presence of SPCLEP staff, and in situations where the parent cannot appear at the counter, the declaration must be authenticated by a public notary or, as the case may be, at the Romanian diplomatic mission in the state in which they are located.

Romanian citizens abroad can submit the application for the issuance of the first identity document together with the documents provided by law at the diplomatic missions or consular offices of Romania in the respective state.
