Following these checks, 16 alerts were returned:

“In the last 24 hours, 25,960 checks were carried out in the eDAC application, 16 alerts were returned, of which two related to missing persons, two related to persons wanted in order to participate in a judicial procedure and three related to objects wanted to be confiscated or used as evidence in criminal proceedings”, states the MAI.
In the last 24 hours, the border police carried out the control formalities for 119,587 people who entered our country. Among them were 7,359 Ukrainian citizens.
From 31 March 2024, border guards at airports and seaports will no longer carry out border control for Schengen travellers. This implies the absence of a record of these passengers.
The eDAC application, operational since the end of March
As of March 31, with Romania’s accession to the Schengen area, a new system for verifying identity documents was put into operation.
The eDAC platform is used by the institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs:
- police
- constabulary
- border police
- immigrations
It is used to confirm the identity of the individual and to verify any mentions associated with it.
The new app will be used on mobile devices such as:
This will be used in daily activities, as well as at access points in institutions and at counters open to the public.
Through the application, the document presented by the person subject to verification will be scanned. The data will be compared with those existing in the databases.
If the person is wanted or has any ban, the relevant information will be displayed immediately.
Also, within the application, the photo of the person will be presented to allow a comparison with that of the individual subject to verification.
The app improves speed and efficiency, reducing the time required to verify people.
