Romanians created more than 7,600 accounts in the first 24 hours after the launch of the MAI platform for the online issuance of criminal records, and 5,532 criminal records were created in the same period, the Ministry of the Interior (MAI) announced on Thursday. .

Among more than 7,600 new accounts on the hub.mai.gov.ro platform, 6,912 accounts were verified through Ghiseul.ro, and 153 citizens contacted police units to verify their accounts, MAI also said.

We remind you that the account verification procedure at the MAI center requires either personal identification by presenting it at the police station counter, or authentication through a Ghiseul.ro account and a 3D Secure bank card.

A pilot application for online criminal record disclosure has encountered errors on its first day of launch

On Wednesday, February 1, the authorities launched a pilot version of the program, which allows for the issuance of criminal record certificates for natural persons of Romanian citizenship who are not registered in the National Criminal Record Registration System of Romania – ROCRIS.

• The program gave errors to some users, which was confirmed by MAI and later fixed, according to HotNews.ro.

Citizens have at their disposal two mechanisms of access to obtaining an accounting certificate:

• 1. through the www.ghiseul.ro platform, for users who are registered or want to register on the platform. The enrollment request is made after the electronic identification confirmation procedure using a bank card registered in 3D Secure, issued by a Romanian banking institution. After verification, they are redirected to the hub.mai.gov.ro platform to fill out a standard application online.
• 2. directly through the hub.mai.gov.ro platform, for users who are not registered on the Ghiseul.ro platform or do not have a bank card issued by a Romanian banking institution. Applicants must fill in the form available on the platform and in order to accurately establish their identity, they must physically appear only once at the MAI counter, which provides public services.

In the first phase, identity certification will be done by presentation to police units that issue records certificates, after which, during this year, identity certification can be done at all MAI institutions that offer public services (eg: community services for driver’s licenses, passports, identity cards).

After validating the account to issue a criminal record certificate, citizens will go to the “services” section, select the reason for applying from the available list, send a pre-filled application with civil status data, and the system will automatically generate a criminal record certificate with an electronic signature. The validity period of the issued certificate is 6 months from the date of issue.

The system provides an opportunity to check the authenticity of the document by the registration number of the registration certificate and the person’s KNP.
