🇷🇴 Romania’s Laws & Regulations for Assistance Animals are as follows:
Acceptance
Always carry your Physical ID Card, Recognition Gear, Registration Certificate, and Behavior Certificate to ensure smooth acceptance throughout Romania.
Housing
Romania does not have a specific national statute forcing landlords to accept assistance animals, but accessibility rules often support accommodations for disabilities. Service Animals and PSAs are generally accepted with documentation. ESAs frequently require a prescription letter and proof of registration.
Air Travel
Airlines operating from Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara, and Iași follow EU aviation frameworks. Service Animals and PSAs are commonly accepted in-cabin when they meet documentation and behavior requirements. ESAs are typically accepted with conditions depending on the airline and destination.
Our registry is approved by all airlines — carrying your ID card and recognition gear ensures faster verification at Romanian and EU airports.
Public Access
Romania maintains developing but supportive accessibility standards. Service Animals and PSAs are generally allowed in government buildings, shops, hotels, restaurants, public transport, hospitals, and universities when identified. ESAs may be accepted with documentation but are not guaranteed access rights.
