Romania has implemented new regulatory frameworks for property and vehicle transactions. In August 2026, the government introduced a standardized contract model for used vehicle sales, titled ‘Contract de înstrăinare-dobândire a unui mijloc de transport – Model 2026 ITL 054’. This update, approved by the Ministries of Development, Finance, and Internal Affairs, includes modern vehicle data requirements and extends the property rights transfer period from 30 to 90 days.

Further legislative changes require both buyers and sellers to provide proof of no outstanding debts to the local budget to finalize transactions. This process necessitates a fiscal certificate issued by the National Agency for Fiscal Administration (ANAF) or local town halls. While paper certificates remain standard, there is an increasing shift toward electronic verification between institutions to streamline these requirements.
