National identification number
Law no. 190/2018 on the application of Regulation 679/2016 (GDPR) in Romania defines the new concept of “national identification number” as the number by which a natural person is identified in certain records systems and which has general applicability, such as:
- social security number
- ID series and number

Therefore, according to Law no. 190/2018 on the application of Regulation 679/2016 (GDPR) in Romania, almost any number that helps in the official identification of a natural person is a national identification number (hereinafter referred to as „NIN“).
