​The government wants to regulate online registration and de-registration of cars on Wednesday through an emergency decree, a process that will reduce the number of trips to several authorities and the amount of paper used: about 31 hectares of forest could be saved annually by eliminating copies of the necessary documents in this process.

The government has on the agenda for Wednesday’s meeting a draft emergency ordinance to regulate the online registration and cancellation of motor vehicles, a process that now means contacting several authorities and filling out dozens of forms and photocopies.

How many forms and photocopies are required now, and the consequences of refusing these papers

The files requested by these authorities in the vehicle tax declaration procedure as well as for registration purposes currently mean 3 files containing around 10 forms to fill in and over 20 copies of some documents.

The government also calculated the impact on the environment:

• “The adoption of the project could have a positive impact on the environment by reducing the number of trips between authorities and road traffic related to these operations, reducing the amount of paper used in the process (approximately 31 hectares of forest could be saved). annually, by eliminating copies of documents necessary in the process), as well as by simplifying interaction between state authorities.”, shown in the explanatory note.

Registration may take more than 30 days

Statistics from the General Directorate of Driving Licenses and Registration from the MAI show that 1,455,388 registration certificates were issued last year (excluding documents issued as duplicates of damaged, lost or stolen licenses) and 167,847 cancellation operations were carried out.

• “This means that in approximately 1.6 million situations annually, applicants for these operations have to travel between several authorities, such as the registration authority, the local fiscal authority and, depending on the circumstances, the ANAF territorial fiscal authority.
• Currently, the execution of all operations related to the field of vehicle registration requires times that can exceed 30 days, through successive submissions to several authorities, times that can be significantly reduced by establishing simplified data transmission flows between the institutions involved.” specified in the explanatory note.

The MAI licensing department will develop an IT platform

To solve these problems, the project envisages that the Main Department of Driving Licenses and Registration of the Ministry of Interior will develop an IT platform that will interact with other IT systems of other authorities for data exchange.

The IT platform will allow citizens to issue legal documents for the ownership of vehicles online, to declare to the authorized fiscal body the facts of acquisition/disposal of vehicles, as well as their registration/withdrawal from circulation.

The regulatory act does not indicate when this platform will appear, but Digitalization Minister Sebastian Burdugia announced last month that “MAI will develop this platform within 6-12 months that will allow online registration and de-registration of vehicles in the first phase for those vehicles funds that are already registered in Romania”.

How to get access data in the IT platform of the MAI

In order to be able to use this IT platform, the GEO project requires applicants to appear at authorized community public services to establish their identity and provide access credentials (without data such as username and password).

Beneficiaries authenticated on the MAI IT platform will subsequently be able to enter the minimum set of data required to identify the vehicle and, depending on the circumstances, any documents in electronic form required for registration operations, transcription of the transfer of ownership of the vehicle, issuance a new certificate of registration, exclusion from circulation, as well as a tax declaration or removal from tax records (documents on the transfer of ownership concluded outside the platform, confirmation of the declaration of theft of the vehicle, certificate of destruction, etc.).

The data entered on the platform will be analyzed by the agency’s employees

registration authorities to approve the execution of the requested operation,

thereafter, after completion of registration/deletion formalities, information

necessary for declaration/removal in/from the records of the competent fiscal authority (document

be automatically transmitted to him through a connection with his own IT system
