“From the category myths we frequently hearbut which are not related to reality, today we are talking about the used vehicles imported from Canada.
For reasons we do not know, several people came to rare representations with cars from this state and claimed that, from their information, Canadian law is similar to the EU, and vehicles must receive the identity card (civ) like those in the Union. We do not know if the source of misinformation is a site or even an intermediary that imports the vehicles, but the hypothesis is completely false ”RAR representatives said.
According to them, the vehicles made for Canada, so not not stored in the European market, do not have a approval according to the EU norms, and for the release of CIc the specialists of the Romanian car register, being obliged to apply an individual approval procedure.
What is below Euro 3 does not receive the vehicle's identity card
This individual approval procedure implies, among other things, a dynamic test for establishing the pollution norm. If at least the Euro3 norm is not reached, the car cannot receive CIV. Subsequently, the approval markings are checked for different components/subassemblies, a technical inspection is made and the EU rules are observed.
“We recommend that, before purchasing a vehicle outside the space of one, ask from rare information about procedures and costs (the petition form available here https://prog.rarom.ro/petii/) and even present photos with documents that we could analyze before formulating an answer.
Pay attention to the documents you receive with the purchase, because we cannot issue CIV for vehicles that are out of use, non -refarable or “parts only”.
The vehicles for the EU market do not go through an individual approval process to receive CIV, and the same legal framework also applies to the cars from the countries of the Aels (European Free Trade Association), of which Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland belong to”, Rarely said.
CIV's release conditions for vehicles registered in the EU
For the vehicles used that have been registered last time in a Member State of the European Union, however, at the first registration in Romania, it will rarely issue the identity card (CIV), or directly if the vehicle has EU type approval and has not undergone the approved configuration or following the individual approval.
It will also rarely carry out technical verification and certify the authenticity of the vehicle.
Documents Required:

– Request rare activity (the request will be completed by the applicant on his own responsibility, he will be signed in the presence of the RAR employee performing the activity);
