Overview
Identifiers
Collect two identifiers from each business customer in Romania and submit them as strings on the application body.
Tax ID: 2–10 digit numeric. VAT-registered entities prefix “RO” (e.g., RO12345678) for intra-community use. CUI = CIF for most legal entities.
Registration number: Format J[county code]/[sequence]/[year], e.g., J40/1234/2020. “J” = judiciar (court district); “F” = filiale (branches); “C” = cooperatives.

How documents combine
For each evidence area, this table shows whether the listed documents are alternatives (any one of) or a bundle (all required). The artifact-by-artifact lookup follows below.Documents to collect
The physical documents you’ll collect from your customer, with the evidence area each one proves. One document can prove multiple areas — for example, Brazil’s Cartão CNPJ covers both tax and business-registration proof, so it appears once with both areas listed.Collection notes
- Legal Registration: Certificat Constatator is the live-status extract used for KYB; available online via myportal.onrc.ro
- Constitutive Documents: Single document; includes share capital, object of activity, associate/shareholder names, governance rules
- Tax Registration: VAT certificate separate if VAT-registered: “Certificat de Înregistrare în scopuri de TVA”
- Operating Permit: Issued by local town hall; required for each operating location; based on Certificat Constatator
- Sector-Specific License: MiCA grandfathering window for qualifying incumbents (registered pre-30 Dec 2024, ASF dossier by 31 Dec 2025) ends 2026-06-24; full MiCA license required thereafter
- Governance Records: SA (monistic): Consiliu de Administrație; SA (dualistic): Directorat + Consiliu de Supraveghere. Changes registered via ONRC mention (mențiune)
- Signing Authority: Standard is a notarized power of attorney or a certified board resolution; must be apostilled for cross-border use (Romania is a Hague Convention Apostille party).
- Address: Conduit universal policy: lease (no time bound) OR utility bill OR bank statement, with utility/bank dated within 90 days. Same evidence satisfies both registered-address and operating-address checks.
- Good Standing: No standalone good-standing certificate is issued; a recently dated copy of the listed document evidences current standing. Romania does not issue a separate certificate of good standing; a dated Certificat Constatator (ONRC, issued within 30 days) serves as the live-status extract equivalent and is already modeled under business_registration.
Person roles
When you submit a person on the application body, set theirrole to one of Conduit’s canonical BusinessPersonRole values. Use this table to map a local corporate-governance title onto the right canonical role.
Additional fields
Country-specific fields you’ll need to collect during onboarding, beyond the document uploads.Notes
- SRL minimum capital raised to RON 500 (Law 239/2025, eff. 2025-12-18): prior floor was 1 leu (Law 223/2020 abolished the RON 200 floor in Nov 2020); existing SRLs with net turnover >RON 400,000 must increase to RON 5,000 within two years (by 2027-12-18). Verify capital in Certificat Constatator.
- Certificat Constatator is the operative KYB extract: the Certificat de Înregistrare is issued once at incorporation; the Certificat Constatator is the live snapshot. Always request a fresh Certificat Constatator — not older than 30 days for most counterparties.
- SA dualistic system requires both Directorat and Supervisory Board: when onboarding an SA using the two-tier structure, directors (Directorat members) and board members (Consiliu de Supraveghere) are distinct — both sets of persons need to be collected and role-mapped separately.
