How to Obtain an Official Cadastral Plan Extract for Property in Romania

Where can you obtain a cadastral plan extract?

The official document is called Extras din planul cadastral, pe ortofotoplan, meaning an extract from the cadastral plan on an orthophotographic background.

It is issued by Romania's National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration (ANCPI), through its electronic services and territorial cadastral offices.

There are two main online routes. The correct one depends on whether you own the property.

Owners should start with MyEterra. Other applicants should use the official ANCPI cadastral plan extract ordering page.

What does the cadastral plan extract show?

The cadastral plan extract represents a registered property's position and geometry within the cadastral mapping system.

ANCPI describes the document as a section of the cadastral plan showing the relevant property, neighbouring properties and other linear details available in its graphical database at the last update.

The extract uses an orthophotographic background, meaning aerial imagery corrected for mapping purposes.

Depending on the information recorded in the cadastral system, the document can include:

• The cadastral representation of the requested property.
• Linear details concerning neighbouring properties.
• Land-use categories.
• Information concerning registered buildings.
• Relevant indications concerning special legal provisions affecting the property.

The online extract is supplied as a PDF signed electronically with a qualified certificate. ANCPI's service description also identifies accompanying CSV coordinate data and an SHP file representing the property's geometry.

The document reflects the information available in the cadastral database. It should not be treated as an independent confirmation that every physical boundary or building on the ground matches the recorded information.

How do property owners obtain the extract for free?

Registered property owners can obtain cadastral plan extracts free of charge through MyEterra. ANCPI introduced online free access for owners on 2 June 2025.

The service is available to eligible individual and corporate owners, personally or through permitted representatives.

1. Open MyEterra.
2. Authenticate using the available account identification method.
3. If applicable, use the ROeID authentication option.
4. Confirm that your account has access to the property for which you are requesting the extract.
5. Select the cadastral plan extract service.
6. Identify the property and submit the request.
7. Retrieve the resulting electronic document when available.

ANCPI explains that using ROeID can simplify account creation because the owner authenticates through the Romanian electronic identity system.

For account creation and access instructions, consult the official MyEterra guidance published by OCPI Botosani.

What if your property is missing from MyEterra?

First confirm that you are using the correct owner account and that the property is registered under the expected identification details.

ANCPI's MyEterra guidance concerns properties available in the e-Terra database. If the property cannot be selected, the online free service may not be able to issue the document immediately.

Contact the competent OCPI to clarify whether the issue concerns account access, representation, ownership information or the cadastral record itself.

How do you order the extract through ePayment?

If you are not requesting the document as an eligible owner through MyEterra, ANCPI offers the cadastral plan extract through its ePayment platform.

The official service is listed as Extras din planul cadastral, pe ortofotoplan, with the online price of 15 RON per property.

1. Open the official cadastral plan extract product page.
2. Select the product and add it to the shopping cart.
3. Open the cart and proceed with the purchase.
4. Sign in or create an ePayment account if necessary.
5. Configure the order by entering the requested property details.
6. Verify the property identifier and county.
7. Complete payment using an accepted payment method.
8. Follow the platform's delivery instructions to obtain the issued document.

ANCPI's help instructions explain that configuring the order is a required step. Adding the service to the cart does not, by itself, identify the property or complete the application.

Read the official ePayment ordering instructions before submitting your request.

Which property identification details are required?

The ePayment ordering instructions allow applicants to begin identifying a property using one of several identifiers:

• Electronic property identifier.
• Land registry number, known as numar de carte funciara.
• Cadastral number, known as numar cadastral.
• Topographic number, where applicable.

The ordering system also requires the correct territorial information for the property.

These numbers are not interchangeable. Enter the identifier in the corresponding field rather than placing a cadastral number in the land registry number field.

Where do you find the cadastral number?

Check an existing land registry extract, cadastral documentation or other official property records that identify the registered property.

ANCPI also recommends consulting its Geoportal when identifying properties for electronic extract requests.

If you have only a street address and cannot determine the correct cadastral identifier, seek assistance from the competent OCPI before paying for a document that might concern the wrong property.

What if the system cannot identify the property?

The online extract service depends on information available in ANCPI's cadastral database.

An unsuccessful electronic search does not automatically mean the property is unregistered or that ownership is invalid.

Check the identifier and county first. If the information remains unavailable, contact the territorial cadastral office to determine which procedure applies.

Is a cadastral plan extract the same as a land registry extract?

No. These are different official documents used for different purposes.

A cadastral plan extract helps identify where and how the property is represented in the cadastral mapping system.

A land registry extract, called extras de carte funciara pentru informare, is used to examine the recorded legal status of a property.

If an institution asks for both documents, ordering only the cadastral plan extract may not satisfy its requirements.

Is this the same as a 1:500 or 1:2000 cadastral plan?

No. ANCPI explicitly warns that the online cadastral plan extract on an orthophotographic background is not the same service as a plan at a scale of 1:500 or 1:2000.

When an authority, architect or other professional requests a plan at one of these specified scales, contact the OCPI responsible for the property's location to determine the appropriate service.

Do not purchase the online orthophotographic extract solely because the requested document contains the words cadastral plan.

This distinction is explained in the official ANCPI ePayment help page.

How much does a cadastral plan extract cost?

For the standard online service, the cost depends on the applicant's relationship to the property.

• Eligible property owner: free through MyEterra.
• Other applicant: 15 RON per property through ANCPI ePayment.

The paid online service is identified as cadastral service code 2.7.7 in ANCPI's published service information.

The free owner arrangement and the paid third-party service coexist. A property owner should not assume that paying through ePayment is necessary when the document is available through MyEterra.

ANCPI warns that unofficial intermediary websites can charge more than the official service. Verify that you are using an ANCPI-operated platform before entering payment information.

How long does it take to receive the document?

ANCPI's published service deadlines distinguish ordinary processing from electronically available information.

For service 2.7.7, the published standard deadline is 3 working days, with an urgent deadline of 1 working day under the applicable service arrangements.

The official service schedule also states that online services paid through ePayment are supplied immediately when the required information is available electronically.

These are service rules, not a guarantee that every request will be fulfilled instantly. An order requiring additional processing or clarification may follow the applicable office procedure.

See the official OCPI service deadline schedule.

What document will you receive?

The online cadastral plan extract is supplied as a digitally signed PDF.

ANCPI's product description states that the document is electronically signed with a qualified certificate and can include accompanying files containing boundary coordinates and the property's graphical representation.

These accompanying formats are identified as:

• PDF: the official readable cadastral plan extract.
• CSV: a list of coordinates for points on the property's outline.
• SHP: a geographic data file representing the property's geometry.

Keep the original electronic file when submitting it to an institution. Printing the PDF does not preserve the electronic signature in the same way as the original digital document.

The exact technical files supplied should be checked against the completed order and its delivery contents.

Which route should you choose in practice?

Suppose you own an apartment in Romania and need an official cadastral plan extract for a property-related administrative request.

Your first step is to identify the apartment's cadastral number and access MyEterra using the owner account. If the registered property is available and your access is confirmed, you can request the extract free of charge.

Now suppose you need the cadastral plan extract for a property owned by someone else. You can use the paid ANCPI ePayment service and identify that property using the accepted cadastral details.

In either case, check whether the requesting institution needs the orthophotographic extract or a different cadastral document before submitting the order.

What if your order cannot be completed?

Start by identifying the stage at which the problem occurred.

• Property not found: verify the cadastral identifier, land registry number and county.
• MyEterra access problem: confirm that the account is associated with the owner or an eligible representative.
• Incorrect document selected: verify whether the requested service is the orthophotographic cadastral extract or a different cadastral plan.
• Payment or delivery problem: consult the official ePayment help instructions and the order record.
• Missing cadastral information: contact the OCPI responsible for the property.

Do not repeatedly purchase the same extract before checking whether the original order has been processed.

If the document appears to concern a different property, use the order details to request clarification through the official service. Correcting a cadastral record itself is a separate procedure from ordering an extract.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Paying through ePayment without checking whether you qualify for the free owner service.
• Using an unofficial intermediary website that charges additional fees.
• Confusing a cadastral plan extract with a land registry extract.
• Ordering an orthophotographic extract when the institution requires a plan at scale 1:500 or 1:2000.
• Entering a land registry number into the cadastral number field.
• Selecting the wrong county or property.
• Assuming the online document is a new cadastral survey.
• Submitting an incomplete order without configuring the property's identification details.
• Assuming a cadastral plan extract proves ownership or resolves a boundary dispute.

Official services and next steps

If you own the property, begin with MyEterra.

If you are requesting an extract for another property, use the ANCPI ePayment cadastral plan extract service.

Before ordering, confirm the correct property identifier and verify that the requesting institution accepts an extract from the cadastral plan on an orthophotographic background.
