Physical and legal persons holding a qualified certificate for electronic signature can interact online with the Trade Register (ONRC), by completing, signing and electronically submitting the specific applications available in the dedicated Service Portal.

Moreover, during this particular period, ONRC recommends the use of alternative means of communication for the submission of applications to the trade registry offices of the courts and to the National Trade Register Office, with electronic means being generally the fastest and most efficient:

• by e-mail, signed with a qualified electronic signature;

• online, through the online service portal of the National Trade Register Office, https://portal.onrc.ro, signed with a qualified electronic signature.

From the establishment until the registration of changes, a series of applications can be submitted directly online:

• application for registration of physical person / legal person;

• request for verification of availability / reservation of company name for physical / legal person;

All documents, which support the application, are individually scanned, saved in .PDF files, electronically signed once (no matter how many pages they contain) and uploaded to the Documents section of the application stream.
