A Romanian passport is issued to a citizen of Romania by the Ministry of Interior & Administrative Reform. These passports are basically issued through the Community Public Service of Issuance & Registration of Simple Passports or the Serviciul Public Comunitar pentru Eliberarea şi Evidenţa Paşapoartelor Simple department.

And if you are looking forward to apply for a passport, then you can apply for it either at the Community Public Service of Issuance & Registration of Passports when in Romania or at the Romanian embassy or a consulate when in other countries.
