Why an SRL

Room to grow

You can employ drivers and run several cars — not possible with a PFA.

Limited liability

Personal assets are separate from the company's.

No certificate of your own needed

An external transport manager can be appointed, so you don't need the manager certificate yourself.

Suitable for foreign citizens

An SRL is the usual route for drivers who aren't Romanian citizens.

Documents you need

For the Trade Register and for the ARR authorisation.

SRL file (Trade Register)

  • ID card or passport of the shareholders and director
  • Articles of association
  • Registered office document (loan-for-use, lease or ownership)
  • Shareholders' and director's statements

ARR file (alternative transport authorisation)

  • SRL registration certificate with CAEN 4933
  • Transport manager's certificate of professional competence
  • Transport manager's criminal record
  • Driver's professional certificate and medical/psychological fitness certificate
  • Rental, loan-for-use or leasing contract for the vehicle
  • Proof of ARR fee payment (300 lei + 100 lei/year/vehicle + 8 lei badges)

What is the minimum share capital in 2026?

Why is a transport manager mandatory?

ARR requires an SRL that applies for the alternative transport authorisation to have a transport manager with a certificate of professional competence. It can be a shareholder or an external manager under contract. SRL Ready + transport manager.

PFA or SRL?

A PFA is simpler — no transport manager and no share capital — but it is only for one driver. An SRL suits fleets, employees and foreign citizens. PFA guide.

Do I need an accountant for an SRL?

Yes, accounting is mandatory for an SRL. You choose the accountant; we hand the file over.
