Yes, the policy received by email is valid. According to the regulations in force, you do not need to present the original RCA insurance. It can also be accepted as a copy or on your phone screen. In August 2020, the Council of the Financial Supervisory Authority approved the amendment and completion of Norm no. 20/2017 on motor insurance in Romania. Thus, the proof of conclusion of RCA insurance, in the case of checks carried out by the competent authorities constitutes:
•the policy and the RCA contract issued by the RCA insurer, for the period of validity written, presented in paper or electronic format;
•the information obtained from a search of the database of compulsory insurance policies, which proves that the insurance is valid.
If the policy was not issued in Romania, it is accepted as proof:
•the presentation of an insurance policy issued in another country but valid in Romania and within its validity period;
•presentation of a frontier policy for vehicles registered or recorded outside the European Economic Area and the Swiss Confederation, in paper or electronic form.
