1. Registration certificate (certificat de înregistrare): if you stay longer than 3 months, register your residence at the local office of the Inspectorate-General for Immigration (IGI). As a jobseeker you can stay up to 6 months without conditions.
2. Personal numeric code (CNP): your registration document contains a personal identification number. You need it at the bank, for taxes and for medical services.
3. Work contract in REGES: check that your employer has registered your contract before your first working day.
4. Health insurance: the public system is run by the National Health Insurance House (CNAS). Bring your European Health Insurance Card for the time before you are covered in Romania.

6. Bank account: you need your CNP to open one.
