How to Obtain a Free Land Registry Extract for Property You Own in Romania

Can property owners obtain a land registry extract for free?

Yes. Romania's National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration (ANCPI) provides free land registry information extracts to registered property owners through its official MyEterra platform.

The document is called an extras de carte funciara pentru informare. It provides information recorded in the land registry about a property, including its identification, registered rights and relevant entries.

The free online service has been available since 2 June 2025 under the applicable ANCPI fee regulations. It is intended for owners and their authorized representatives, rather than everyone requesting information about a property.

The practical first step is to access MyEterra, authenticate and check whether your property appears in the 'Imobilele mele' section.

Who can request a free extract?

ANCPI identifies the following eligible users:

• Individuals who own registered property in Romania.
• Legal entities that own registered property.
• Authorized representatives acting for registered individual or corporate owners.
• Authorized local government representatives using the applicable MyEterra arrangements on behalf of owners.

The free service applies to properties for which the relevant ownership right is recorded in the national e-Terra database.

Being interested in a property is not sufficient. A prospective buyer, neighbour or unrelated third party generally uses the paid public information service unless they have an accepted representative mandate.

Can a co-owner request the extract?

A person recorded as a holder of an ownership right can use the owner-access route for property appearing in their registered records.

If the property does not appear automatically, check whether the ownership entry is associated with your identification number or only with your name. MyEterra provides separate identification views for these situations.

Can a company or representative use MyEterra?

Yes. ANCPI's MyEterra system supports registered property-owning legal entities and representatives acting under an accepted mandate.

Representative accounts distinguish between acting for an individual ('Reprezentant PF') and acting for a legal entity ('Reprezentant PJ'). The representative must select the relevant person or entity when using the service.

When is the land registry extract free or paid?

The correct platform depends on whether the applicant is the registered owner or another interested person.

These amounts concern the land registry information extract, not every possible cadastral or notarial service.

For applicants who are not owners, the official ANCPI ePayment platform provides the online paid service. You do not need a commercial intermediary to order a standard information extract.

How do you create a MyEterra account?

ANCPI offers several methods for obtaining access to MyEterra. The easiest documented option for many individuals is authentication through ROeID, Romania's electronic identity system.

Option 1: Use ROeID

1. Obtain and activate a ROeID account if you do not already have one.
2. Open the official MyEterra platform.
3. Select 'Autentificare cu ROeID'.
4. Complete the authentication process through ROeID.
5. Return to MyEterra after successful authentication.

ANCPI explains that a MyEterra account is opened automatically after successful authentication through the ROeID route.

Option 2: Request a MyEterra account directly

Applicants without ROeID can use ANCPI's alternative account-request procedure for individuals.

The official MyEterra guidance provides account-creation instructions and an access request form. Depending on the chosen validation method, additional identity confirmation may be necessary.

Use the official ANCPI account instructions rather than assuming that entering an email address alone establishes property-owner identity.

Option 3: Register as a representative

Where a person acts for another owner, MyEterra supports a representative account with an appropriate registered mandate.

Once access is approved, the representative selects the individual or legal entity represented and can work with the properties associated with that owner.

How do you find your property?

After signing in, open 'Imobilele mele' ('My properties'). ANCPI's user manual describes two important identification methods for individual owners.

Properties identified by personal identification number

The 'Identificate dupa CNP' list contains properties whose registered ownership entries are associated with the owner's personal numerical code or relevant identification number.

For legal entities, the corresponding identification may use the company's CIF.

Properties identified by name

The 'Identificate dupa Nume & Prenume' section contains properties where ownership was recorded using the person's name rather than a personal identification number.

This can happen because older registration documents, notarial instruments, administrative decisions or court documents did not include the owner's CNP.

If your property is missing from the first list, check the name-based list before assuming that the property is absent from the land registry.

Confirm the correct property

Use the available county, administrative-territorial unit, cadastral number, land registry number and other identifying information to distinguish between properties.

Where you need a graphical representation rather than a textual information extract, ANCPI also provides a separate cadastral plan extract. See the guide to obtaining a cadastral plan extract.

How do you download the free extract?

ANCPI's MyEterra user manual identifies three relevant sections: 'Imobilele mele', 'Cererile mele' and 'Documentele mele'.

1. Open 'Imobilele mele' and identify the registered property.
2. Select the appropriate property and request 'Extras de carte funciara pentru informare'.
3. Follow the application instructions to submit the request.
4. Open 'Cererile mele' to view the registered request.
5. When the document is issued, open 'Documentele mele'.
6. Download and save the information extract.

The free owner route does not require payment for the eligible information extract.

The electronic document should be retained in its original form when sent electronically to a bank, administrative authority or other recipient that accepts electronic land registry extracts.

What does the land registry information extract show?

A Romanian land registry (carte funciara) records information concerning a particular registered property.

The information extract can include:

• Land registry and cadastral identifiers.
• Property location and description.
• Registered owners and ownership shares.
• Relevant registered rights and legal entries.
• Mortgages, restrictions or other registered encumbrances, where applicable.

The precise information depends on the entries existing in the relevant land registry at the time the document is issued.

An information extract is a record of registered information. It is not a substitute for the legal documents establishing the underlying transaction or a guarantee that every physical characteristic of a property matches its cadastral records.

Is the free extract sufficient for selling a property?

The free MyEterra document is an information extract ('extras de carte funciara pentru informare').

Romanian property transactions requiring notarial authentication may involve a different document: the land registry extract for authentication ('extras de carte funciara pentru autentificare').

These documents serve different purposes. The information extract allows the owner to review registered property information, while the authentication extract is associated with the notarial authentication procedure.

If you are selling or transferring property, ask the notary which document must be requested. Do not assume that downloading a free information extract replaces the notary's required authentication procedure.

What if your property does not appear?

ANCPI's official MyEterra manual explains that registered properties may appear under different identification categories depending on the information recorded when the ownership right was entered.

Before contacting support:

1. Check both the identification-number and name-based property lists.
2. Confirm that you are signed in under the correct owner or representative role.
3. Verify the spelling of the owner's name and the available property identifiers.
4. For a company or represented owner, confirm that the correct legal entity or individual has been selected.
5. Check whether the ownership right is actually recorded in the e-Terra system.

If the property still cannot be identified, contact the competent Office of Cadastre and Land Registration (OCPI) for the property's location.

A missing property may require clarification of the registered identification details or a separate cadastral or land registration procedure. Ordering a paid public extract does not automatically correct an ownership registration issue.

Can you obtain the extract without using MyEterra?

Yes. ANCPI's published fee information confirms that registered owners can also obtain eligible land registry information extracts free of charge at territorial service counters.

Contact the competent OCPI or local land registry office (BCPI) for the applicable identification and representation requirements before visiting.

This is useful when an owner cannot authenticate online, cannot locate the property in MyEterra or prefers in-person assistance.

How do you avoid paying an unnecessary intermediary?

ANCPI warns that commercial websites may charge substantially more than the official fees for land registry information extracts.

For a property you own, the official free online route is MyEterra. For another person's property, the official paid online route is ANCPI ePayment.

ANCPI's official information identifies 20 lei as the online information extract price for other applicants. It specifically warns about websites charging amounts such as 50, 80 or 100 lei for a document available through the official service at a lower price or free to the owner.

Before entering personal information or payment card details, verify that you are using the official ANCPI platform.

Common MyEterra problems

ROeID authentication fails

Check that your ROeID account is active and that the authentication process has been completed. If you cannot use ROeID, consult ANCPI's alternative MyEterra account-registration instructions.

The property is not linked to your CNP

Look under the name-based property identification section. ANCPI explains that some ownership entries were registered without a CNP or CIF because the original supporting documents did not contain that information.

Representative access is unavailable

Confirm that the mandate is registered in MyEterra, that the correct representative role is selected and that the intended owner is selected in the account.

The extract is not ready to download

Check 'Cererile mele' for the registered request and 'Documentele mele' for issued documents. If the request remains unresolved, contact the relevant ANCPI support channel or territorial office.
