• At the same time, the authority that carries out the exchange of Romanian driving licenses will be issued a unique code with a limited period of validity, with which it can further confirm the authenticity of the document issued electronically by DRPCÎ.V.
• In order to support citizens who choose such a service, we consider it expedient to introduce the possibility of notifying the driver’s license holder electronically about the expiration of the driver’s license or, depending on the circumstances, its owner. regarding registration certificates, temporary movement permits and issued tests.
• Also, a similar activity will be carried out with regard to the candidate for taking the exam for obtaining a driver’s license regarding the appointment of the date of taking the practical exam,” the explanatory note also states.
