Alba Iulia has built its own e-services portal with EU money since 2011. When payments left the counter, 66% went through the national ghiseul.ro and 7% through the city's portal.
what does this mean?
The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went.

Alba Iulia's city hall has run EU-funded e-administration since 2011, when a project worth 6,764,257.4 lei added a citizen-relations (CRM) platform, a telephone dispatch centre for reporting problems and a GIS extended to all departments. Today's portal, portal.apulum.ro, comes from a project called 'Alba Iulia – administrație publică digitală', submitted to the EU's Administrative Capacity programme in 2018. Online, residents can request urbanism certificates, access permits for tonnage-restricted zones and resident-parking renewals, check and pay local taxes, book civil weddings and report incidents on municipal land; in 2023 the city bought, for 9,250 lei without VAT, the work to connect the portal to ROeID, the national digital-identity login. The counterweight is in the city's own figures: in the first quarter of 2026 its portal carried a 7% share of payments made outside the counters, against 66% for the national ghiseul.ro.
📊 Impact
In the first quarter of 2026, 33,735 of 61,378 payment operations, almost 55%, went through channels other than the counter, the first time they outnumbered counter payments, and 83% of transactions were cashless, according to the city hall's own analysis. Most of that shift did not run through the city's portal. A local newsroom that tested the portal in December 2025 found it relatively complicated to use for someone with average digital skills, and noted that a resident logged in as a private person still sees the forms meant for companies, though they cannot be opened. No audit or independent evaluation of the portal was found.
🎓 Lesson
Alba Iulia shows that building a city portal and getting residents to use it are separate tasks. The city has kept adding EU-funded layers: the 2011 citizen-relations project, the 2018 portal project, and in May 2026 two contracts worth about 1 million euro for an AI-based virtual assistant and a multi-institution e-government platform shared with the commune of Sântimbru. Yet when payments left the counter, most went through the national ghiseul.ro, not the city's own portal. The useful measure for each new layer is which door residents actually choose.
