Summary/Abstract: The article addresses the issue of innovation through the digitalization of public administration in Romania. Even though there are different platforms/portals for making different payments, such as fines, taxes, etc., it is easier to pay these "obligations" directly at a physical counter than through platforms. Objective: To identify the current situation regarding innovation through the digitalization of Romanian public administration. Approach: The research is theoretical but will illustrate along the way different aspects of the reality regarding the issue of digitalization in the Romanian public sector and position Romania in different rankings regarding innovation through digitalization. Results: Romania does not rank high in the digitalization rankings, and the main reason is that Romanian citizens do not trust new technologies and are not educated to use them.
