Renewing romanian ID card while living in the UK

Post by Suzerman » Tue Oct 10, 2017 3:23 pm

Hello everyone,

My boyfriend is from romania, but has lived in the UK for most of his life. His Identity card has expired, and he has to renew it. The embassy told him to do so through the power of attorney, which he has done. the attorney, however, now tells him that he needs to be registered at a romanian address in order to renew his ID card. Seeing how he currently does not live there, and how he has no intention of doing so, and also has no family members there, I wonder how there's even any possibility of him ever renewing his ID card. This surely cannot be a normal everyday occurrence? You're telling me he would be stateless and nobody would even care? Anybody have any ideas as to what is going on and if there's any way around this?

It depends on each country's individual laws. Until relatively recently, Germany retained people's ID cards when they unregistered their residence in Germany, so nobody without a German address could/should have had an ID card, only a German passport.

Now the laws have changed and Germans living abroad can have an ID card stating 'no residence in Germany' in place of the address.
