The Romanian identity card (Romanian: Carte de identitate, informally called Buletin) is an official identity document issued to every Romanian citizen residing in Romania. It is compulsory to obtain the identity card from 14 years of age. Although Romanian citizens residing abroad are exempt from obtaining the identity card, if they intend to establish a temporary residence in Romania, they may then apply for a provisional identity document (Romanian: Carte de identitate provizorie), which is valid for one year (renewable).
The identity cards are issued by the Directorate for Persons Record and Databases Management, subordinated to the Romanian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
