Questions about the ARR authorisation

What is the ARR authorisation and why is it mandatory?

The alternative transport authorisation (ATA) issued by the Romanian Road Authority lets you take rides on platforms like Uber or Bolt. It's mandatory under Law 236/2019.

How much does the ARR authorisation cost?

300 lei for the authorisation, plus per car 100 lei/year for the certified copy and 8 lei for the badges.

How long does it take?

ARR has up to 15 business days after the complete file is uploaded. The preliminary documents (medical certificate, criminal record) can take a few more days.

What's the difference between the authorisation, the certified copy and the badge?

The authorisation belongs to the operator (PFA or SRL) and is obtained once; the certified copy is per car and renewed; badges are issued per platform you're affiliated with.

Can you file the ARR file for me?

Yes: ARR filing, 250 lei + ARR fees, if you already have a company and the professional certificate. It's also included in the 399 lei PFA package and in SRL Ready + Transport manager.
