Vehicle Homologation in Romania
DriveSino manages the full homologation process to get your imported vehicle road-legal in Romania — from confirming whether it already qualifies for EU type approval, to coordinating individual approval if it doesn't.
Who Handles Homologation in Romania
Local process name
Omologare Individuală
Responsible authority
RAR (Registrul Auto Român)
The Romanian Auto Register (RAR) issues the individual approval certificate (omologare individuală) required for any used vehicle not previously registered in Romania, or any vehicle with a constructive modification from its approved configuration.
Once RAR confirms the vehicle meets Romanian and EU technical and safety standards, the certificate supports registration.
Why Homologate Your Romania Import With DriveSino
Homologation in Romania — FAQ
Do I need homologation to register an imported car in Romania?
Yes, unless your vehicle already has valid EU type approval and a Certificate of Conformity. Otherwise, Romania requires individual vehicle approval before registration.
How long does homologation take in Romania?
It depends on your specific vehicle and whether EU type approval already applies. Contact us for a realistic timeline once we know your vehicle.
Can DriveSino homologate a car that isn't from China?
Yes. We manage individual vehicle approval in Romania for imports from South Korea, the United States, Japan, and other non-EU markets, not just China.
Is homologation the same as customs clearance in Romania?
No — they're separate. Customs clearance covers import duties and VAT; homologation certifies the vehicle meets Romania's technical and safety standards for registration. Both are needed for an imported vehicle.
