„The identity document proves identity, Romanian citizenship, home address and, as the case may be, residence address. In addition, the proof of residence can also be done with proof of residence, which consists in mentioning the residence entered on a document that will accompany the simple identity card, the electronic identity card and the provisional identity card,” also established the BEC decision.
