The scope of the study is to document the impact of new technologies on the procedure of issuing administrative documents, taking into account the fact that the current global trend in administration is the digitalization of public services and the issuance of documents in electronic format. The reason for this analysis is a news in the media according to which, as of 20 March 2025, electronic ID cards will be issued to individuals in Cluj, as part of a pilot program. The research methodology of the topic is interdisciplinary, combining information from national and EU law, a case study being included at the end of the article. The proposed theme is highly topical, as our country is on the threshold ofan historic moment and a paradigm shift in the field of acts in general, namely the transition from the old to the new, to the tools of the future. The results of the study show that the digitalization of public services has impacted the legal regime of administrative acts. Notwithstanding, there is a need for standardization and for a highly developed legal framework, with a focus on data security, which takes into account the protection of fundamental human rights in the digitalization process.
