NOTE: To meet the technical conditions prevătaken by the legal regulations for taking the photograph, sIt is recommended that the person whose passport will be issued be dressed in the upper part of the body in dark and / or intense colors, avoiding light colors or clothing in plaid or light stripes.

If you do not have any other Romanian identity document when you ask the embassies or consulates to issue a temporary passport to continue the trip or to regulate the stay, it is very important for you to be able to provide the diplomatic mission / consular post Personal Numeric Code ( CNP) assigned to you by the Romanian population registration authorities. This code is registered in the birth / marriage certificates, identity cards, passports and driving licenses issued by the Romanian authorities.

In the country, the value of the passport is as follows:

- 258 lei - for people over 12 years old
- 234 lei - for persons under 12 years of age

- for the passport simple temporary: 96 lei - regardless of age.

Starting with 07.09.2020, the payment of the passport value can be made as follows:

• at the cashiers of the CEC Bank units, as well as at the Selfpay payment stations of CEC Bank;

Documents required for issuing a temporary simple passport

• Identity card, provisional identity card or, as the case may be, valid identity card, in original. The temporary identity card must be accompanied by the original birth certificate.
• The document proving the payment of the value of the passport, in original, or the payment document published on paper containing all the information related to the payment made by means of online payment, completed in the name of the holder.

Personally, I recommend that you get a simple electronic passport! It costs more, but the execution time is approximately the same as in the case of the temporary simple passport, and the validity of the electronic simple passport is 10 years!
