The new road tax regime in Romania introduces significant changes for drivers, dividing the former rovinieta into two categories: rovinieta for light vehicles and TollRo for heavy vehicles. The rovinieta remains valid even if the vehicle's user or registration number changes, provided legal conditions are met. The new regulations are governed by Law no. 226/2023 and Ministerial Order no. 922/2026. For vehicles registered in Romania, the rovinieta's validity is maintained after a registration number change, contingent on updating the authority's database. For foreign-registered vehicles, users must notify CNAIR in writing to retain validity. Additionally, users can recover the rovinieta fee if the vehicle is deregistered, allowing for reimbursement for the unused period. Drivers must stay informed about these new rules to ensure compliance and avoid issues with road tax validity.
