We’ll obtain your Certificat de atestare fiscală — and handle the new 2026 requirements.
If you need to sell or buy real estate, register or deregister a car, settle an inheritance, or register a company with the local tax office — you’ll need a Certificat de atestare fiscală, a certificate confirming no outstanding local tax debts. It can only be obtained through a personal ConectX account, and as of 2026 the requirements have become stricter: without the certificate, a transaction can be declared invalid. We handle the entire process for you — from setting up the account to a personal visit to Taxe și Impozite — for both individuals and companies.
1. WHAT IS CERTIFICAT DE ATESTARE FISCALĂ
This is an official document confirming the status of your tax payments. There are two different certificates in Romania, and they’re easy to confuse.
| Issued by | What it confirms | When you need it |
| Local tax authority (Taxe și Impozite) |
No outstanding debt on taxes for buildings, land and vehicles | Real estate transactions, vehicle registration or deregistration, inheritance proceedings |
| ANAF (state budget) |
No outstanding debt to the state budget | Loans or mortgages, participation in tenders, company registration, reorganization or closure |
Under Law No. 207/2015, Article 159, the certificate is requested from the competent authority — local or state — depending on the situation. We handle the procedure specifically with the local tax authority (Taxe și Impozite).
2. IMPORTANT: AS OF 2026, BUYERS NEED THE CERTIFICATE TOO
Both parties to a transaction — seller and buyer — are required to provide a certificate confirming no outstanding local tax debts. Without it, the contract is considered invalid and cannot be registered in the land registry: the notary will not be able to authenticate the deal, and the buyer will effectively have paid for the property without acquiring legal ownership of it.
An important detail that often trips people up: the certificate is requested from the authority where the buyer is registered — by residence for individuals, or registered office for companies — not from the authority where the property is located. If a transaction has multiple buyers (spouses, for example), each one needs their own certificate — a single certificate for both won’t work.
3. DIFFICULTIES CLIENTS RUN INTO WHEN HANDLING THIS THEMSELVES
✗ Digital signature — working in ConectX requires a qualified digital signature. Getting one set up is the most common point where people get stuck: video identification errors, the service only operating during certain hours, payments that time out, and long waits for tech support.
✗ No instructions in English — official guidance from local tax authorities comes as videos in Romanian, with no written step-by-step instructions. For anyone who isn’t fluent in the language, that’s an extra barrier.
✗ The wrong authority — it’s easy to mistakenly apply to the tax office where the property is located, when the correct one is where the buyer resides or is registered.
By law, local authorities are prohibited from charging a fee for the certificate itself. You’re not paying for the document — you’re paying for us taking on the entire organization of the process and all communication with the authorities. You don’t need to figure out the ConectX interface, set up a signature yourself, or stand in line.
