Summary/Abstract: The European Union wants the Member States to continue the digitization process by moving to the next stage, the implementation of the European digital identity. To this end, a legislative framework has been regulated to support a secure and competitive digital economy, based on the protection of fundamental rights and personal data. The aim of our paper is to see whether the implementation of the European electronic identity card positively influences the quality and efficiency of public administrative services offered to the citizen.The research methodology is based on the European legislative framework, its transposition at national level and on the comparative analysis of the evolution between Romania and the other European countries. The results of our analysis show that Romania, as a member state of the European Union, has transposed into national legislation the policies related to digitization, personal data protection and interoperability, considering both the benefits and the challenges associated with the European electronic identity. eID is an important step towards reducing bureaucracy, increasing transparency and digital governance.
