Rovinieta Euro class: where to find it on your registration certificate

Look for the code V.9 in part I of the certificate. Directive 1999/37/EC, which harmonises the codes on EU registration certificates, defines V.9 as the environmental category of the type approval, with a reference to the emissions directive or regulation it was approved under.

V.9 is in the directive's list of data a certificate may contain, not the list it must contain. A certificate without it is not defective. The mandatory list does include E, the vehicle identification number, and P.3, the fuel or power source.

Match what V.9 says to one of the four price levels: Euro 0 to 3, Euro 4 and 5, Euro 6, or electric. The rovinieta prices by Euro class gives the lei amount for each.

To read a code without the tables, paste it into our rovinieta Euro class checker. It names the Euro class and the price level, and says so when the code does not settle which.

A German Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I shows an EU directive or regulation number in V.9, not the words Euro 6. The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt tells registration offices to copy the directive or regulation from the certificate of conformity into V.9, in a form such as 715/2007*692/2008A.

That number alone may not settle the price level. Regulation 715/2007 covers both Euro 5 and Euro 6, which sit in different Romanian price rows.

Field 14 gives the designation of the national emissions class, and field 14.1 its four-digit code. Where the class is unknown, the KBA guide says field 14 reads EMISSIONSKL.NICHT BEK. with code 0088, which leaves you without a stated Euro class for Romania. A vehicle registered as an Oldtimer reads OLDTIMER with code 0098, and any emissions code it had moves to field 22 (KBA guide, July 2026 edition).

If data on the vehicle's emissions class cannot be provided, the vehicle is placed in Euro 0 (Law 226/2023, article 6, repeated in the note to Order 888/2026). For a car that is the top row: 330 lei for 12 months, against 254 lei at Euro 6.

Choosing a lower class than the papers support saves nothing. The law defines a valid rovinieta as the record that matches the vehicle's category and emissions class, so a rovinieta registered for a cleaner class than the car's is not the valid one for it.

If the registration certificate is silent, look in the manufacturer's certificate of conformity: it is the document registration offices copy the class from. Neither the law nor the order says which document proves the class at a check, so take whichever states it on the trip.

An electric vehicle with no Euro class is identified from the power source in field P.3, or the equivalent entry on a foreign document, and pays the electric level. The Euro 0 fallback does not apply to it (Order 888/2026). The electric car rovinieta guide explains which cars count as electric.

Our checkout asks for the emissions standard next to the plate and offers Euro 0 when you do not know it. Choose the class your papers state, then buy from our Romanian rovinieta options. The VIN is asked for too, from field E of the same certificate.

After buying, check the record on CNAIR's portal; the guide to checking a rovinieta shows what the check asks for.
