The Romanian road use charge, called the ‘Ro-vignette’ is compulsory throughout the Romanian road network and may be obtained from the offices of the National Road Administration at border crossing points, from post offices throughout the country as well as from Petrom, Rompetrol, OMV and MOL fuel stations. Further information on Ro-vignettes sales points is available on the website of the National Road Administration.

Since 1 October 2010, the paper vignette system (sticker that used to be stuck on the windscreen) has been replaced by an electronic system. However, the driver still needs to go to one of the above mentioned selling points in order to pay for the electronic vignette of his choice. The driver will be asked to provide the vehicle’s registration number as well as the vignette type and its period of validity. These data will be entered into the National Road Authority and police common database. After paying the corresponding fee, the driver receives a receipt and an annex containing all relevant data that he should keep onboard the vehicle. Payment is automatically registered in the central system and is maintained throughout the period of validity for which the fee was paid. Once the validity has expired, the driver needs to go back to one of the selling points and pay for another vignette.

Inspections are conducted either via cameras or by inspection officers. Drivers who are not in possession of a valid Ro-vignette will be subject to a fine of between RON 750 and 4'500 as well as a supplementary charge of between € 96 and € 1’210.
