The criminal record certificate can be obtained online starting today, through the ghișeul.ro and hub.mai.gov.ro platforms.
The criminal record certificate is issued free of charge and in electronic form.
Criminal record certificates issued in electronic form are signed with a qualified electronic signature and are assimilated to authentic documents.
How can you get the electronic criminal record certificate?
- through the www.ghiseul.ro platform, for users who are registered or want to register on the platform. The record request is made following the electronic identity validation procedure using a 3D Secure enrolled bank card, issued by a Romanian banking institution. After validation, they will be redirected to the platform of the Romanian Government, for the online completion of the standard application.
- through the Romanian Government platform, for users who are not registered in GHISEUL or who do not have a bank card issued by a Romanian banking institution.
Applicants will fill out a form available on the platform, and in order to establish their identity with certainty, they will present themselves physically, only once, at an MAI counter that offers public services.
In the first phase, the identity certification will be carried out by presenting to the police units that issue records certificates, following that during this year the identity certification can be done at all MAI institutions that offer public services (eg: Community public services for issuing permits driving license, passports, identity cards).
After validating the account, to issue the criminal record certificate, citizens will access the "services" section, select the reason for the request from an available list, send the pre-filled application already with the civil status data, and the system will automatically generate the criminal record certificate, signed electronic. The validity of the issued certificate is 6 months from the date of issue.
The system offers the possibility to verify the authenticity of the document, based on the registration number of the registry certificate and the person's CNP.
